TRIEC is truly a multi-stakeholder collaboration. Never before have organizations from so many sectors come together on the issue of immigrants entering the labour market. The representation on TRIEC and the participants in the programs that have been launched clearly show that this is an issue that speaks to all cross-sections of society and industry.
Council membership is organizational, and is comprised of members representing various groups: employers, immigrants, labour, occupational regulatory bodies, post-secondary institutions, assessment service providers, community organizations, and all three levels of government.
