About TRIEC
The Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council (TRIEC) brings leaders together who are committed to helping immigrants and employers succeed. TRIEC believes that when immigrants prosper, we all do. They help employers make the most of the culturally diverse workforce. They help immigrants connect to employment that fully leverages their skills and talents. TRIEC does this by partnering with organizations from across all sectors in the Greater Toronto area, because they believe that a collaborative approach achieves the greatest impact.

About PINs
PINs is a TRIEC program that increases the capacity of professional immigrant associations to connect their members to employment. PINs associations are volunteer-led, member-based organizations with an employment focus, run by and for skilled immigrants. TRIEC provides a platform for association leaders to share learnings, leverage skills, access resources and tools, build their profile and collaborate with employers, service providers and others stakeholders. PINs is funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, and sponsored by Scotiabank.
