About the Project: Newcomer Success
In 2026, getting hired requires more than just an AI-optimized resume; it requires Cultural Intelligence (CQ) and Legal Literacy. Newcomer Success’ 6-session program is designed to move beyond the application phase. We prepare job-ready newcomers for the reality of the Canadian workplace, ensuring they are not just hired, but also protected, promoted, and integrated.
