Example immigration projects

How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on immigration?

Immigration Policy Analysis

An academic researcher can analyze immigration policies and their impact on businesses in various industries. This analysis can help companies understand the potential challenges and opportunities related to immigration and develop strategies to mitigate risks and leverage opportunities.

Diversity and Inclusion Assessment

An academic researcher can conduct a comprehensive assessment of a company's diversity and inclusion practices, including the representation of immigrants in the workforce. Based on the findings, the researcher can provide recommendations to improve diversity and create an inclusive work environment.

Global Talent Acquisition Strategy

An academic researcher can assist companies in developing a global talent acquisition strategy that focuses on attracting skilled immigrants. This strategy can involve identifying countries with talent pools that align with the company's needs, creating partnerships with immigration agencies, and implementing effective recruitment and onboarding processes.

Immigration Compliance Audit

An academic researcher can conduct an audit of a company's immigration compliance practices, ensuring adherence to relevant laws and regulations. This audit can help companies identify any potential compliance gaps and develop strategies to mitigate risks and maintain legal compliance.

Research on Economic Impact of Immigration

An academic researcher can conduct research on the economic impact of immigration on a specific industry or region. This research can provide valuable insights into the contributions of immigrants to the economy, helping companies understand the potential benefits of hiring immigrants and advocating for immigration-friendly policies.
