On Oct 17, Together Project was happy to support World Education Services with the 5th annual Toronto Refugee Hiring Event. It was a terrific way to meet community partners, potential Welcome Group volunteers, and refugee newcomers. Congrats to all 2025 Toronto Refugee Hiring Event partners!

“We've just been very intentional about some of the practices that we've incorporated as a part of hiring refugees.”

At @syscocanada, small changes in recruitment have led to a big impact strengthening their business and sharing opportunities with refugee hires.
