The facilitator is very dynamic and his stories make him engaging and personable. I feel that the trainer created the forum for a collective journey. Bravo.

Thank you. You have made a difference to me personally and professionally.

Employer perspective

The approach that AWES took was effective and has been utilized since. The practical and effective approach that AWES used prompted me to become more involved with the organization after the program concluded.

Christchurch, New Zealand

Participant perspective

One of the best workshops I have been to in my professional work life. The trainer is an excellent presenter and the curriculum was on point, fast-paced, and exciting.

Employer perspective

A lot of our employees have never taken any formal presentation training and liked the fact that they were learning tools to make them into better speakers so that they didn’t become the kind of speaker that they didn’t enjoy listening to or learning from. We definitely would recommend this course to other companies.

Participant perspective

Awesome, the best training I ever attended.

About the resources

The Workplace Integration materials are just what I have been searching for. Alberta seems to be producing some really great work in immigrant services – makes me wish I was there.
