TWIG (Toronto Workforce Innovations Group) has taken a look at the existing system relationships and employment supports for newcomers who have been trained internationally for Professional-Technical-Administrative (PAT) jobs and who are facing serious challenges finding work. This is being used as the base for TCBN and the Labour Market Partnership team to recommend a new approach to break through these barriers and create opportunities in this job market through transit infrastructure investments.
Note: The term FADE was originally used by TCBN describing the set of Financial Administration, Design, and Engineering positions, and is now commonly called PAT.
