This is a free program funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), which includes 2 weeks of virtual training followed by 2 weeks of job placement. We assist newcomer women in preparing for jobs and learning how to navigate the Canadian job market. Join us for one-on-one support or group workshops where you’ll get practical advice and guidance.

At CCS, we support newcomers in building their careers and achieving their goals. One inspiring story is of a newcomer from Nigeria who arrived in Canada as a refugee in 2022 with a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting. They sought support through our Employment Program for Newcomer Women, completing courses in Supply Chain Management and Advanced Project Management. With CCS's guidance, they earned their PMP certification in 2023, which helped them secure better job opportunities.
