February 15 @ 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm

(Le français suit…)
 
February 15, 2023 | 1:00 PM – 3:30 PM PT
 
On behalf of AMSSA and IRCC, we would like to formally invite you to attend the 2022 Sector Priorities Survey Info Session. 
In September of 2022, AMSSA, with funding from IRCC, conducted their first annual Sector Priorities Survey with the objective to ensure that the services AMSSA provides reflect the needs and priorities of the B.C. settlement sector, especially in the wake of the global pandemic. A total of 234 IRCC-funded service providing organizations took part in the survey, 221 in English and 13 in French and through their participation, AMSSA was able to gain key insights into the changing needs of the settlement sector. 
The information session is our opportunity to: 
  • Introduce the method behind the development and implementation of the survey. 
  • Present the findings of the survey to BC’s settlement and integration sector. 
  • Highlight the key recommendations to emerge from the survey. 
  • Engage in discussions around what these findings mean for AMSSA’s future activities.
Date: Wednesday, February 15, 2023
Time: 1:00 PM – 3:30 PM (Pacific Time)
Location: Zoom | Event details will be sent after registration

Nous vous invitons à participer à une séance d’information au sujet du sondage sur les priorités du secteur 2022.  
 
En septembre 2022, AMSSA, avec l’aide du financement d’IRCC, a mené son premier sondage annuel sur les priorités du secteur. Ce sondage avait pour objectif d’évaluer si les services offerts par AMSSA reflètent les besoins du secteur de l’établissement en Colombie-Britannique, particulièrement en contexte de pandémie mondiale. Au total, 234 fournisseurs de services financés par IRCC ont répondu au sondage (221 en anglais et 13 en français). Grâce à leur participation, AMSSA a été en mesure de recueillir des renseignements précieux sur les besoins changeants du secteur de l’établissement. La séance d’information sera une occasion pour nous de :  
  • Présenter la méthodologie utilisée pour concevoir et mettre en œuvre le sondage.
  • Présenter les résultats du sondage au secteur de l’établissement et de l’intégration en Colombie-Britannique.
  • Mettre en évidence les principales recommandations découlant du sondage. 
Date : mercredi 15 février 2023
Heure : 13 h à 15 h 30 (heure normale du Pacifique)
Lieu : Zoom | Les détails de l’événement seront envoyés après l’inscription.
