Newcomers Enhancing Employability and Awareness

Newcomer Program

Through funding made available by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, the Unemployed Help Centre of Windsor is offering a new and innovative program called Newcomers Enhancing Employability and Awareness. This program is designed to assist newcomers with a CLB level 3 or higher with the opportunity to develop and enhance their job search skills, English vocabulary and awareness of the Canadian work culture and environment.

Participants will be taught basic computer skills in programs such as Word, PowerPoint, Publisher and Excel as well as English skills and nine modules of the Canadian Workplace Essentials (CWE) program which include: nonverbal communication, initiating conversation, socializing and understanding organizational culture to name a few.
