Working in Canada: The Widget

19 November 2009 by Peter

Innovative HRSDC program Working in Canada has added another online point of presence – an embeddable widget.

Example of the Working in Canada widget in action

In addition to their social media presences, the Working in Canada team has now developed a code snippet that can be dropped on to any web page to allow access to the Working in Canada site. It’s a great way to spread awareness and distribute access points to the Working in Canada tool across the web.

It’s not fully self-serve (yet?) — if you want to add the widget to your site, you will need  to contact the program by email to request it.

The program appears to be doing some blogger outreach as well. I was contacted earlier this week by an analyst from the program alerting me to the launch of this latest feature. He pointed me to two examples of where the widget has already been deployed: www.peterboroughcareers.com and www.immigrationpeel.ca.
