AE selected as one of the Best Employers for New Canadians
Associated Engineering has been selected as one of Canada's Best Employers for New
Canadians, recognizing the efforts the company makes to ease the transition for staff from
overseas. The company assists overseas candidates to obtain work permits and become
permanent residents, provides training to help staff become acquainted with local design
standards and codes, helps foreign-trained engineers obtain the work experience they need
to gain their professional accreditation, and provides language training and communication
courses.
Judges for the Best Employer for New Canadians Program advise, “Many internationallytrained
engineers face difficulties practicing their profession in Canada. To obtain provincial
licensure, engineers from abroad must acquire one year of Canadian work experience. As
a result, engineers with international credentials find themselves at an impasse – unable to
find work in Canada without a P.Eng. designation, but unable to obtain licensure without
Canadian work experience. Associated Engineering addresses this dilemma by recognizing
the credentials of new Canadian applicants during the recruitment process.”
Says Nazmun Nahar, Ph.D. Water Resources Engineering, “AE gave me the opportunity to
become an active member of the engineering community of BC. In my last two years at AE, I
have gained invaluable experience in water resources and have the opportunity to get
acquainted with the ‘state-of-the-art’ technology.”
Congratulations
Vince & Carol Borch
Congratulations to Vince and Carol Borch who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this
year. Vince served Associated Engineering for 27 years and retired in May 2005. As President
from 1990 and Chairman of the Board from 1996, Vince was the architect of our modern company.
He introduced and fostered the “One Company” mindset throughout the company and
established the strong governance and effective business strategy that has seen the company
grow to more than 600 staff across Canada.
Many of Carol and Vince’s family joined then in Mexico to celebrate this wonderful milestone!
