Testimonials

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.

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.

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.

About the resources

The information in this resource [Working with Newcomers] has given our employers a tangible guide for better workplace relations and offered practical ways to create positive and productive multi-cultural workplaces
