Scenario You are working as a Co-op student for a Canadian city of your choice. During your Co-op placement, you were assigned to work with the city’s Welcoming Committee, which is a new initiative the city is offering to welcome newcomers and introduce them to city services. You are helping the Welcoming Committee develop a website with information new residents need to know about the various resources and services the city has to offer. The Welcoming Committee’s focus is on newcomers to the city. The city is looking for ways to share valuable information about city resources and services that complement the information already provided on the existing city website. You will create a research recommendation report that newcomers to the city can access to gain additional information and recommendations about specific services or resources the city offers on its website. This document will be written using information gathered through weekly task assignments which will be revised and formatted to suit a recommendation report arrangement. In week 9, the weekly tasks were introduced, and as the first step in this project, cities and topics were chosen. All choices are firm. The next step in your position as a Co-op student was to complete a series of writing tasks, which included: Task 1: Persuasive Proposal Assignment. Proposed a topic for research that was deemed important to newcomers (Week 9).(Proposal for a Research Recommendation Report on the Job Market in Guelph, Ontario Nirmaljeet Kaur Professional Writing Skills for Business COMM1380 24F Stacey Hunt November 3, 2024 Introduction: Guelph is growing and diversifying, and a lot of new residents want to get established in a city with open arms and diversified industries. Job market information is one of the critical steps toward successfully transitioning newcomers into the Guelph community. Purpose: The paper proposes the drafting of a research-based report for the Welcoming Committee with detailed information on Guelph’s job market. This will serve to update and better provide new access to information and employable opportunities to newcomers. Background Information: Guelph has a good local economy with its key sectors being manufacturing, agriculture, and technology. City of Guelph, n.d., it also supports green economic development through attracting labour and businesses as well. The wealth of such opportunities, however, can be very hard to decipher for those new to Guelph’s job market. Information Currently Available on City’s Website: The City of Guelph currently has a high-level overview of the economic development and key industries-manufacturing, Agri-innovation, and advanced technology. This information, though useful, is quite general, with little detailed advice regarding specific resources or networks that support job-seeking newcomers. Information which should be added to Existing: Industry Job Trends: Detailed information on main industries-healthcare, education, manufacturing-complemented with the expected growth and type of jobs in demand. This is followed by job search resources: links to local job boards, employment centres, and networking events in Guelph that directly help newcomers. Competency Development: Professional development, retraining, and certification opportunities at Guelph. Tailored towards labour market-placing immigrants’ needs. Information on Guelph’s work culture, professional associations, and networking opportunities will be information to the settler while he goes through some adjustment process. Research Plan: I will do the following to develop this report in its totality: I. Access Online and Local Resources: Using the economic development page of the City of Guelph website, local job websites, and sources providing information on employment resources. II. Access to Library and Academic Resources: Employ the resources of Guelph Public Library, university career services, and local business periodicals to provide detailed sector analysis. III. Interview Local Experts: Interviews or surveys with HR representatives, city economic development officials, and business owners of companies in the locality would be useful for direct information. Possible Barriers and Solutions: Barrier: No readily accessible sourcing of current, localized job market information about Guelph. • Solution: Make use of regional information that may be available, and improve it by consulting with local employment resource centres and economic development agencies. Problem: Inaccessibility of Complete Data about Under-advertised Employment Resources • Solution: Less-advertised resources – mentorship programs, workshops, co-op placements – can be discovered through contact with the organization directly. Project Timeline Timeline for Completion: Week 9: Choose topic and submit proposal. Week 10: Explore internet and library resources, begin gathering information for the report. Week 11: Create a visual representation of job market data based on information from Statistics Canada. Week 12: Submit a progress report documenting the project’s progress. A well-researched Job Market Guide will go a long way in helping Guelph’s newcomers connect with important employment resources and achieve faster economic integration. Not only would it make information on the city’s website more holistic, but it would also contribute toward Guelph’s economic development objectives of helping new residents find suitable employment sooner. Request for Approval: I would like to seek approval on this research report project, which will be an asset for the newcomer resources of the Welcoming Committee and further solidify Guelph as a supportive community for all.

Article #1: Like in many other cities, newcomers into Guelph often have to face the problems of labor shortages, including skilled labor. Limited experience and networks hold back youth, including newcomers, from job opportunities. Article #1: I would very much like to learn about what the City of Guelph is working on to help address these employment challenges for Newcomers and Youth. Are there local programs supporting their integration? Article #1: This article informs about the $1.7M funding for job Programs Focusing on youth and their newcomers. Funding provided job training and placements, to help overcome certain barriers to local youth getting jobs GUELPHTODAY.com, 2024 . Article #2: Guelph is facing an increase in the shortage of skilled labor, which may further impact the availability of jobs within a particular sector. Newcomers possessing the right skill set may thus be open to opportunities within those specialized sectors. Article #2: I would want to know how newcomers fare in this gap within Guelph’s skilled labor shortage and what employers are doing about it. Article #2 The article says that Guelph has sustained a shortage of skilled labor in manufacturing and other trades; hence, the demand for skilled labor, part of which comes from newcomers with the right qualifications is high (Pender, 2024).) and feedback i received is that (The research question is somewhat clear and on topic but does not consider audience needs. You have multiple questions here and this is far too specific – and not properly connected to your topic. Your goal is to find out more about the job market. You could perhaps rework this to: What employment support is offered to newcomers in Guelph? The article is off-topic. The article is not relevant; the information does not provide useful background information. The publication date is not current (i.e., within 4 years).Current but not related to Guelph as presented; focus on Waterloo.Two references are included; both references contain minor formatting errors. Revisit some proper formatting. Good start though more specific details are needed. Where will this money go, for example? What specific initiatives are being implemented? Also, you have not yet said what research you still need to do and to find what information.) Task 3: Create a Visual Assignment. Created a visual using relevant statistical data from a credible secondary source to support reader comprehension (Week 11).

Your grade has been updated. Please see my in-rubric feedback. You have some big changes to make before you put this in your final report. December 4: The first visual contains far too many data points and does not equal to 100%, as required for a pie chart. Focus on just one thing. For example, focus only on employment type or only on labor force status. The second visual is empty. The third does not add up to 100% either. The fourth visual is better but should have only three bars, not nine. December 4: Remember a figure title and citation for all, not just the first one. Add more detail with key highlights in each explanation (for example, the highest numbers or percentages and what they indicate). Put the explanation after the visual, not before. Add data labels and one axis label to the last visual if you are using it. December 4: Though not yet clearly presented, this is all good and relevant information. No change here. The explanations are often too short and still do not yet highlight key details. Good start though you have highlighted information that is not particularly important for this task. Though some citations are now missing, I will not drop this grade. Also see below re: indents. Well done overall. Remember to use hanging indents in references. ) Task 4: Progress Report Assignment.
