PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The ultimate goal of this project is to increase the number of bilingual professionals working within key areas of the Islands’ health and social services sector and to increase access to health and social services in English. To achieve this, the project will increase networking and partnerships, both locally and regionally, in order to better promote and enhance the offer of health and social services in English through the ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Retention Project. Local and regional partners will work in collaboration to build partnerships and to network, thereby enhancing recruitment, retention and promotional strategies and developing sustainable intern integration activities. This initiative will help determine how local and regional partners can improve communications and create opportunities to partner (for mutual benefit) and support one another in the areas of recruitment and retention for the Magdalen Islands’ region, particularly within the health and social services sector.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The goal of this initiative is to ensure that the Baie-des-Chaleurs & Rocher-Percé regions have a sustainable framework in place for recruiting and retaining bilingual health care professionals that will ultimately increase and improve access to health and social services for the English-speaking population.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A community health and social services recruitment and retention strategy will be developed in collaboration with the Agence, the CSSS de la Côte-de-Gaspé, the Carrefour Jeunesse and educational institutions to be delivered over the next two years. As the public institutions already have, in some cases, internal recruitment and retention strategies, the focus of our project will be to identify the actions where the community may take some responsibility and actively participate in promotional activities that will enhance bilingual recruitment in our public institutions.
