Mission Leader of the economic and sustainable prosperity of Ontario's Francophone and bilingual communities. Vision SÉO propels Ontario's francophone and bilingual economic space to new heights by advancing leading-edge solutions in entrepreneurship, employer support, newcomer integration and community economic strengthening. Values Inclusion : Respect and ensure the successful inclusion of culturally diverse talent in Ontario's civil society and Francophone community. Collaboration : Take a federative and strategic approach in its alliances to position Ontario's Francophone and bilingual economic vitality at the local, regional, provincial, national and international levels. Excellence : Make optimal use of the resources and means at our disposal to achieve the desired results. Empathy: Understanding and perceiving customer needs, enabling us to be a permanent contributor of solutions and opportunities. Transparency : Ensuring compliance with the highest standards of sound governance practices, demonstrating integrity and ethics to consolidate our credibility. Who are we? The SÉO was founded over 20 years ago under the name RDÉE Ontario. Today, this organization is one of the key players in the economic development of Ontario's Francophone and bilingual ecosystem to which it contributes by promoting the emergence of new businesses and supporting the growth of existing businesses, by assisting Francophone and bilingual newcomers in their quest for quality jobs, by supporting employers in their recruitment efforts, and by contributing to the economic strengthening of communities through a series of initiatives and programs. The SÉO has approximately 40 employees throughout the province. The organization is part of RDÉE Canada , a national network.

SERVICES Assistance for entrepreneurs Employment assistance for newcomers Recruitment support for employers Community building and linguistics services Community building and linguistic services Comunity building includes a variety of initiatives, services and one-off programs designed to help our local organizations, neighborhoods, towns and villages develop and grow. Support for communities and organizations One of the key starting points for strengthening a community is assessing its economic health. We offer diagnostic services for communities and their organizations to identify key factors that need to be improved. We also help communities with strategic and other planning, mobilizing partners, establishing economic projects and assisting with project planning. We provide tools and resources, and assess funding opportunities for individual projects. Send us an email Tourism Through our tourism services, we work with communities to identify potential Francophone experiences, products and services, assess their level of Francophone capacity, and then market them. Through our Route Champlain or other province-wide tours we're working on, these experiences, products or services are listed and marketed across the country and even internationally to attract Francophone markets and support our local tourism economy. Do you represent a business, organization or community that would like to add its French-language experience, product or service to our promotional efforts? Fill our form JeunInno program Error: empty slot Linguistic services (Vice Versa) As a Francophone, making yourself understood in French or obtaining services in your own language can be a challenge, depending on where you are located in Ontario. To address this challenge, in 2011, the SÉO launched Vice Versa, a social enterprise that provides translation and community interpretation services. The services offered by Vice Versa are complementary to the overall offering of the SÉO, whose mandate is to support businesses or future businesses, assist newcomers in their quest for employment and economically strengthen communities in Ontario's Francophone and bilingual space. Over the past few years, the social enterprise has put a great deal of effort into training community interpreters. This decision is all the more important as there is a crying shortage of community interpreters, which complicates the integration of French-speaking newcomers to Ontario. The SÉO and Vice Versa actively encourages the training of professionals in this field. That's why, in collaboration with MCIS Language Solutions, Vice Versa has also created a community interpreting training program within the new provincial Francophone business incubator. Visit the Vice Versa website for more details.

You can also download our one-pager (in French only) Recruitment support In this era of labor shortages, recruiting staff is not always easy. Fortunately, the SÉO can help. One of our mandates is to help Francophone and bilingual newcomers find employment in Ontario. We help them prepare, we support them in their search and, above all, we refer them to you, the employers. Thanks to our networks and contacts, our team members can help you find the people you need. Fill our form Workforce planning We recognize that it can sometimes be difficult to forecast your workforce needs. Human resources planning is a delicate and sometimes difficult exercise, particularly in this era of labour shortages, a phenomenon that requires you to plan ahead, especially if you have to rely on immigration to attract talent. Thanks to its expertise, vast network of contacts and knowledge of available programs and resources, the SÉO employability team can help you prepare by accompanying you in your workforce planning. Fill our form Job offers To help you in your quest for quality Francophone or bilingual employees, we can post your job offers on our website. Send us an email Workshops and training One of SÉO's mandates is to offer training to its customers. Each year, we offer more than a thousand workshops, webinars and other activities designed to help them perfect their knowledge and acquire background information. One of our training courses is aimed primarily at human resources professionals. It includes a series of workshops designed to raise employers' awareness of hiring and retaining candidates from diverse backgrounds. Topics covered include the integration of immigrants into their new work environment in Ontario, as well as cultural competency. Check our events calendar (In French) Networking sessions with job seekers In addition to workshops and webinars, the SÉO employability team and the ProAction program offer employers the opportunity to organize virtual, face-to-face or hybrid networking sessions for job seekers. During these dedicated meetings, you are invited to present your organization, its products and services, and the jobs you offer. OC Transpo, Canada Post, Conseil des écoles publiques de l'est de l'Ontario, Fast Forward French, Desjardins, Groupe Médias TFO, Décathlon Canada, Deloitte, Hôpital Montfort, Conseil scolaire catholique Mon Avenir, Dymon Wine Cellar... these are just a few of the companies and organizations operating in Ontario that have had the opportunity to introduce themselves to newcomers seeking employment over the past year. These events are a great way for both parties to learn more about each other. And as an employer, it's an opportunity to present yourself, your products and services, your job opportunities and the skills you're looking for. Send us an email Meeting with employers Every year, members of our employability team meet with employers across Ontario to introduce themselves, acquaint them with our services and explain what we can do as an organization to help them. Please invite us. We’ll gladly meet you wherever you may be in Ontario to introduce ourselves and explain all the benefits we offer. Occasionally, representatives from the Ministry of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada will accompany us to provide you with information about hiring foreign-trained candidates. Fill our form Job fairs and related events Like us, you probably use traditional means to advertise the jobs available in your organization. But promoting our job offers through the usual channels isn't always enough. At a time when we depend in part on economic immigration to fill the void left by, among other things, the retirement of baby boomers, we sometimes need to find other ways of publicizing the positions we're looking to fill. Fortunately, SÉO can help. Every year, the SÉO organizes or participates in various activities designed to bring job seekers and employers together. These include the RDÉE Canada network's Salon virtuel de l'emploi, the Salon virtuel du recrutement and the Foire de l'emploi francophone du Grand Sudbury. The SÉO also participates in a number of international events to meet potential candidates and present job offers from local employers. These events include Destination Canada, the Salon Afrique Canada Immigration et Investissement, and others.
