The purpose of this study is to explore social and financial services for newcomers, particularly Syrian and Afghan refugees among others that builds upon their existing work skills, their prior training and their lived experiences, as part of fostering integration into the labour market of their new country. This study is designed to examine the ways in which newcomers are currently mentored, served, and supported as they seek employment opportunities. The main question is "How can we help newcomers to integrate more fully into the economy of the community where they have settled?" http://openresearch.ocadu.ca/id/eprint/2266/
