World Skills Employment Centre is pleased to announce the launch of a new and exciting collaborative program:
Empowering Newcomer Women to Succeed in the Canadian Labor Market. This initiative is a game changing initiative that will support up to 450 visible minority newcomer women to access opportunities for career development.
Delivered in partnership with Immigrant Women Services Ottawa, this innovative, two-year program will feature interventions to support participants along their personal path to employment, including career planning and portfolio building workshops; job matching; targeted recruitment events; and a self-leadership series to motivate and inspire women to reach their goals.
