Skills Training Program

We are passionately committed to empowering newcomers and immigrants in Canada, as well as individuals facing financial hardships. Our Skills Training Program is designed to level the playing field, offering sponsorship for licensing and certification courses essential for securing entry-level employment.

About the Program

Empowering Newcomers and Immigrants

Newcomers and immigrants bring unique perspectives, diverse talents, and invaluable experiences to our society. Our goal is to equip them with the necessary tools and resources to thrive in the Canadian job market and integrate seamlessly into their new communities.

 

Breaking Financial Barriers

Financial challenges can significantly hinder access to education. Our scholarship program aims to break this cycle of poverty, offering a pathway to brighter futures through educational opportunities.

 

Addressing Systemic Inequities

We believe in addressing systemic inequities by investing in education and training. By nurturing talent and potential, we not only benefit individuals but also enrich our communities and contribute to national growth.

 

Industry-Focused Training

Through strategic partnerships with educational institutions and employers, we ensure that our scholarship recipients receive relevant, industry-focused training. This enhances their employability and prepares them for the job market, paving the way for stable employment, family support, and active societal contribution.

 

Certification and Skills Training Initiative

For many low-income and newcomer individuals, certification can significantly enhance employability. Our initiative provides eligible individuals with the financial support needed to complete these programs.
