Part 2

As a successful Canadian company, you will eventually want to establish a sales/customer service in this important market, and possibly develop a distribution or manufacturing presence depending on your product and business strategy.  Just as in Canada, your employees will be your most valuable resource.  Identifying, recruiting and hiring the best talent are essential steps in launching a successful business in the U.S.

Georgia is the fourth-fastest-growing state in the U.S. with 100,000 people moving to the state each year. More than half of the state's 4.7 million strong work force are between the ages of 20-54, representing a highly-educated and skilled group.  Georgia offers the # 1 ranked work force training program in the U.S.  Offered free of charge as an incentive to qualified companies, Georgia Quick Start delivers individualized training in classrooms, mobile labs or directly on the plant floor.

Representing 35 public colleges and universities, the University System of Georgia is the fourth-largest university system in the country, graduating more than 44,000 students per year.  Innovative programs allow Georgia companies to tap into the technical, engineering and research capabilities of these schools to identify the unique HR talent required of high tech, biotech and other leading edge companies.

In this second in a series of three webinars about establishing, developing and growing your Canadian business in the U.S., a panel of experts will provide insight into issues regarding work force, executive recruitment, personnel transfer from Canada and the search for HR talent in the U.S. in general. Participating in this webinar will be a business visa and immigration attorney and an executive placement professional.
