During this session, U.S. and Canadian colleagues will explore recruitment, training, and retention strategies employers currently use to attract foreign-born caregivers. Join this high-level discussion about the ethics of such activities, including the impact of worker migration on immigrants’ countries of origin. Envision how provider organizations worldwide might come together to address global workforce challenges while supporting foreign-born caregivers through skills training, core competencies, and recruitment standards.
