Testimonials:
"I particularly appreciated the sessions on resume building and interview preparation. I felt confident enough with the knowledge and skills gained during the classes that I tailored my resume and got the courage to participate in two job fairs." - Yenny Beltran (Nov 2023-March 2024 cohort client)
Our program is cohort based which means that it runs for around three (3) months and will require your commitment and attendance for two parts: Part 1 with an instructor that will teach you business communications skills needed at the workplace, while part 2 is what's called an employment component that will be introduced by an employment consultant who introduces a different topic every week during the three (3) month cohort:
- Barriers to Employment & Employment Dynamics / Canada
- Are you Job Ready for the Canadian Market?
- Occupational & Labor Market Research
- Action Planning & Job Retention (with Cultural Resources)
- Training Options & Funding for bridging gaps in your chosen professions
