Diversity and integration

Only one more day left to register to participate in the online webinar on "Cities at work: recruiting and managing a diverse workforce", to be held on Wednesday 10 April 2013 and organised by the network Cities of Migration.

The webinar will allow participants to discuss ways of managing a workforce within local administrations to guarantee equity and diversity but also to help municipalities ensure sustainable growth and prosperity.

Speakers include:

Mubarka Butt, manager of employment and total compensation for the City of Saskatoon (Canada). Saskatoon has been recognised as one of Canada’s most diverse employers.  According to its multicultural population, the city has successfully managed to develop a representative workforce.

Brigitta Praatz-Schanz, responsible for employee training at the Training and Education Centre at the City of Bremen (Germany).  The city started an campaign in 2009 to recruit more young people from immigrant backgrounds into the civil service including police, fire fighters, judicial administration and financial management.
