Paul Barry Mercer and Nova Scotia Scholars Program

international students: The Mount is committed to assisting international students who choose to remain in the province, Paul Barry Mercer, the Mount vice-president of student experience, said in a news release, according to The Chronicle Herald. This includes helping our students to successfully transition from student to employee and new Nova Scotians. This pilot program will connect international student graduates with employers and opportunities to start their careers in locally. The Nova Scotia Scholars Program provides participants with individualized plans to address career building, networking, cultural preparation, work experience and immigration. Venor, started by Craig Coady and Ian Sullivan in Halifax, offers professional and executive search services in Atlantic Canada and beyond, including the U.S. The extracurricular program is run using existing resources—including expertise in the Mount Career Centre and Internatonal Education Centre, as well as support from education practicum students. The partnership with Venor represents a new step for the program and a valuable private sector link to employers. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
