Career Edge and OACETT Launch Exclusive Job Portal to Connect Canadian Employers with Certified Engineering Professionals
Enabling Employers to Access Globally Trained Engineering Professionals. Career Edge has partnered with OACETT to launch an exclusive Career Bridge Portal.
TORONTO, June 30, 2026 – As Canada’s engineering sector continues to face a growing talent shortage, thousands of internationally trained engineering professionals in Ontario with recognized credentials remain underemployed. Today, OACETT and Career Edge are addressing that gap directly with the launch of Career Bridge, an exclusive job portal for Internationally Educated Professionals (IEP’s), providing them with tailored career support and direct access to opportunities through the ‘Career Bridge’ program.
This initiative enables employers to access a highly qualified pipeline of Internationally Educated Professionals (IEPs). IEPs here refer to candidates who have completed the equivalency of an Ontario 2-year (for Certified Technicians) or 3-year for Certified Engineering Technologist (C.E.T.) post-secondary diploma in the field of engineering or applied science technology.
The portal gives employers direct access to OACETT’s members more than 25,000 certified professionals, a ready, qualified talent pool that traditional recruitment channels rarely reach. The program offers a low-risk, high ROI hiring model and supports employers in advancing their diversity and inclusion goals by connecting them with globally trained professionals who bring diverse perspectives and their technical expertise.
Designed with efficiency in mind, the platform simplifies the recruitment process from sourcing to onboarding. Employers benefit from reduced time to hire, streamlined candidate matching, and a more agile approach to workforce planning in today’s competitive labor market.
With demand for engineering and technical talent continuing to rise, the Career Bridge portal offers a strategic advantage for employers seeking to build resilient, future-ready teams.
The Career Bridge job portal is now available to employers seeking efficient, reliable access to top-tier engineering technician and technologist talent.
