Nursing Workforce Planning: Tapping into Diverse Talent
McMaster University Webinar Series 2020
This webinar series is part of the Hurdle of Employment: Integrating IENs into Ontario’s Workforce project, led by Dr. Andrea Baumann, Associate Vice-President, Global Health, and Director, WHO Collaborating Centre in Primary Care Nursing and Health Human Resources, McMaster University.
Ontario has experienced an unprecedented upsurge in immigration. In 2018 alone, more than 137,000 immigrants entered the province. Rates are expected to rise over the next decade. At the same time, the population is aging. Both trends drive the demand for expanded health care services. Providing sufficient nurses is crucial to achieving this goal – but a projected nursing labour shortage will put Ontarians at risk for the next several years.
Take part in these webinars to find out how newly registered newcomer nurses can augment the nursing work force and help care for a growing and diverse patient population.
What you’ll get out of this series:
- An overview of the latest population and immigrating trends impacting the demand for nursing talent
- Access to resources and practices used by health care leaders to ensure the successful recruitment and transition of newcomer nurses and other health care providers into the workplace
- Access to a pool of highly skilled and work-ready (registered) Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs)
- A certificate of attendance

The team will work closely with health care employers and IENs throughout the province and match work-ready IENs to employers hiring nurses.
