"My favorite part of facilitating the program is watching our participants build confidence in themselves and their job search skills. Our clients often start the program feeling unsure about their goals and their future, but by the time they finish the program they have a new group of friends and the confidence to follow their dreams.’

The program offered a series of online workshops to assist participants as they planned and prepared for their future in Canada.

The training provided built confidence and skills in the areas of:

• Career Planning & Job Search
• Effective Resume Writing
• Job Applications & ATS
• Personality Dimensions
• Interview Skills
• LinkedIn & Networking
• Canadian Business Culture
• Community Resources & Training Programs

The program was offered free of charge through online Zoom sessions.
