Hello NLAB members,
Thank you again for our recent conversation. You shared so many ideas, insights, and experiences and I look forward to connecting with you and your colleagues in the language side of our sector throughout this process. As a reminder, the Settlement Sector and Technology Task Group is looking at what the immigrant and refugee-serving sector needs to potentially move towards digital and hybrid service delivery models. As part of our work, we’ve just launched a national bi-lingual survey.
The survey launched today and closes December 4th. We’re hoping you can help us get the word out. Below are some messages you can use for newsletter/website copy, as well as messages to share on your social media channels. We encourage you to customize them for your networks and stakeholders and make them your own.
As NLAB members I'm hoping you can help share the survey within your network, to encourage all language service providers to share information about the survey with their colleagues, staff, and networks.
Thanks for your help and support (and don’t forget to complete the survey!).
You can find out more about the survey, including some additional background information about the Task Group, preview survey questions, and access the survey here: https://peacegeeks.org/settlement-tech-task-group
Thanks, and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out,
Marco Campana

What does the future of digital settlement services look like? The Settlement Sector and Technology Task Group (managed by AMSSA, reporting to IRCC’s National Settlement and Integration Council (NSIC)) is working to discover, examine, and learn about the settlement sector’s needs to successfully implement digital and hybrid service delivery models. Our mandate is to identify multiple digital transformation and hybrid service delivery models (where relevant) rather than aiming at one unique model that may not easily be replicable within our sector. We will provide an overview of the current landscape while identifying best practices, strategies, gaps, challenges and risks for settlement service providers. This discussion is about the future of how we deliver services to newcomers and communities. Your voice, opinion, experience, and insight are essential.
As part of our work, we are surveying the sector. This survey is intended to capture the perspectives of individuals who work in the settlement sector. We define the settlement sector as those providing any and all services to newcomers including, but not limited to immigration, employment, financial literacy, housing, and language services.
The survey is available for anyone in the sector who is interested in this issue and wants to provide input and insights. The survey has two paths, one for front-line workers, one for management/leadership. Multiple people from the same organization are invited to complete the survey. We encourage you to share the survey link with others in your organizations and professional networks.
