BCSIS Virtual Information Session: WorkBC Employment Services
2022-10-04 10:00 - 11:30 | Online
On October 4, AMSSA’s BCSIS Team is holding a virtual information session in which speakers will present on WorkBC Employment Services, eligibility criteria, pathways to employment, supports for displaced Ukrainians and effective inter-agency referrals.
EVENT SUMMARY:

In this Virtual Information Session, speakers from the Settlement Sector and the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction will provide an overview of WorkBC Employment Services and highlight the benefits of the resource for BCSIS clients.
During the pandemic, the need for employment services heighted. Referrals to external supports such as WorkBC can help to relieve pressure on BCSIS Service Providers. However, to ensure that client referrals are successful, it is essential that frontline settlement workers understand the services, supports available to newcomer clients, eligibility criteria based on immigration status, and effective referral methods.
In this session, speakers will explore the current WorkBC pathway to employment, temporary policies for displaced Ukrainians, and various policy updates. Speakers will provide information on the benefits of interagency referrals, including referral protocols, coordinated services and effective practices in cross-agency referrals. After the presentations, there will be a live Q&A period.

Introduction to WorkSafeBC for Migrant Worker Support Staff
2022-10-19 11:00 - 13:00 | Online
Migrant workers can be vulnerable to unsafe work and workplace hazards, including their health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. They often lack the knowledge, language skills and ability to exercise their right to a safe and healthy workplace. WorkSafeBC is partnering with AMSSA to develop workshops and information for settlement agencies and their support workers to help migrant workers understand and exercise their rights and receive benefits they are entitled to as workers in BC as they relate to workplace health and safety.
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
This workshop will provide migrant worker support staff with a foundational understanding of WorkSafeBC policies relating to migrant workers. This will include core information about the Workers Compensation Act, Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulations and claims. With this foundational knowledge, participants will begin developing a deeper understanding of how best to help migrant workers access the workplace health and safety rights to which they are entitled.
ASSOCIATED LEARNING MODULES
Participants who complete the first workshop will be offered access to subsequent workshops and online learning modules. Subsequent modules will involve more complex and nuanced subject matter related to WorkSafeBC policies for migrant workers, and thus completion of the first workshop is a prerequisite.
PRESENTERS
Rose McDonald
OHS Consultation and Education Services, WorkSafeBC
Jennifer Harms
Adjudicator, WorkSafeBC
