Participant Testimonials:
“Thank you so much Michael! I learned a lot. Letting you know that I got a job this past week and will be starting in a week.”
“My hope is that other newcomers will get to know this program so that they won’t settle for the jobs they are overqualified for simply because they were not informed or they are not aware of how the system works here.”
“The information you gave me will help a lot with my job search and it gave me a clearer understanding of the work system in Canada and in Alberta to be specific.”
