Recruitment: AI in Canada’s Job Market.” \nKeynote Speaker: Yfaat Gal\nYfaat is a Senior Technical Program Manager at Udemy who builds clarity where others see complexity. A newcomer to Canada with many years of global tech leadership experience\, she has led mission-critical initiatives across large enterprises and high-growth technology companies. Her work sits at the intersection of technology\, strategy\, and execution—driving progress in environments where scale\, trust\, and meaningful impact matter most. \nEmployer Presentation: Alex Shikhman\, BESI (Building Envelope Systems Installations)\nAlex is the founder and owner of a Toronto-based construction company he started in 2007 with nothing and has grown to a team of over 80 employees. A former military member\, he brings discipline\, accountability\, and a people-first mindset to his leadership and hiring. Over the years\, he has learned that the best hires are not always the most experienced\, but those who are trustworthy\, dependable\, self-motivated\, and strong team players\, and he now uses AI in the hiring process to help surface those qualities at scale. \nJoin us at our annual newcomer alumni event and connect with former JVS Toronto participants as they share their journeys to success in Canada. Meet other newcomers like you\, build your professional network\, and get valuable information on integration and starting a career in a new country. \nLocation: JVS Toronto Employment Source Yonge Street (4576 Yonge St\, Suite 300) \n\nFor more information on our Newcomer Employment Services\, please visit www.jvstoronto.org/find-a-job/newcomer-services URL:https://www.jvstoronto.org/workshop-calendar/newcomer-event/ LOCATION:JVS Employment Source Yonge Street\, 4576 Yonge Street\, Suite 300\, North York\, ON\, M2N 6N4\, Canada CATEGORIES:Networking & Info Sessions,Newcomer Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.jvstoronto.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/CalendarIcons_Networking.png ORGANIZER;CN="Newcomer Employment Services":MAILTO:albionjsw@jvstoronto.org GEO:43.756205;-79.4099347 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=JVS Employment Source Yonge Street 4576 Yonge Street Suite 300 North York ON M2N 6N4 Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=4576 Yonge Street\, Suite 300:geo:-79.4099347,43.756205 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
