Settlement Practitioner Introductory Training Workshop

March 21 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

AMSSA’s BC Refugee Resource Network initiative was created to support the coordination of resources and information flow to support all refugees influenced by the humanitarian crises in Afghanistan and Ukraine. Consultations with service providers across B.C. indicated that an introductory foundational functional training would aid in the orientation of new practitioners coming into the field.
 
The Settlement Practitioner Introductory Training will provide practical training on common settlement work tasks that are not agency specific within B.C. 
 
Among the topics this training webinar covers are:
  • Immigration categories and funding sources
  • The role of a settlement practitioner
  • The framework of settlement work
  • Case management of clients
