Cette étude a examiné la préparation à l’emploi et les expériences de travail des immigrants et des réfugiés récents en Ontario, au Canada, afin de déterminer les principaux besoins en ressources et les principales possibilités en matière d’intégration professionnelle sécuritaire. La plupart connaissaient peu leurs droits au travail et ne savaient pas trop quoi faire lorsqu’ils étaient maltraités ou lorsqu’on leur demandait de faire quelque chose de dangereux au travail. Nous définissons les points optimaux du processus d’établissement où l’information peut être fournie et certains des rôles qui peuvent être joués le plus efficacement par les organismes de services, les organismes de réglementation et les employeurs.
This study examined the employment preparation and work experiences of recent immigrants and refugees in Ontario, Canada, to determine key resource needs and opportunities related to safe work integration. In-depth interviews were conducted with 22 service providers, program developers, and policy-makers from the immigration and employment fields. Eighteen focus groups were held with 110 recent immigrants and refugees who were looking for work or who had recently found work. An exploratory qualitative approach was used to collect and analyze the data. First jobs were often characterized by precarity and poor working conditions. Most recent immigrants and refugees had little knowledge about their rights at work and were not sure what to do when mistreated or were asked to do something unsafe at work. The settlement and employment programs that included occupational health and safety information were not systematic and were hindered by a lack of consistent funding and diffusion of responsibility. We identify optimal points in the settlement process where information can be provided, and some of the roles that can be played most effectively by service agencies, regulatory bodies, and employers.
