Language and Job Skills Training

Need help building skills for the Canadian Job market? We can help:

Our Employment Language and Skills Training programs are designed to help newcomers improve their language abilities and gain job-specific skills. We offer training in three key areas: 1. Enhanced Language Training (ELT) for Healthcare Professionals 2. Language Training for Food Handling 3. Language Training for Child-minding

With flexible options available both online and in-person, our programs create a welcoming and supportive environment where you can learn, grow, and prepare for your career in Canada. Let us help you succeed!

How we can help

  • Enhanced Language Training (ELT): We help newcomers with healthcare backgrounds gain the language skills, workplace knowledge, and volunteer experience needed to succeed in the Canadian job market.

  • Child-Minding & Food Handling Training: These programs provide newcomers with the language skills, training, and hands-on experience to work in the child-minding or food handling sectors. We partner with organizations like BGC East Scarborough to offer volunteer placements and real-world opportunities.

  • Virtual Navigation Support: We understand that navigating online tools can be challenging for newcomers. That’s why we offer group workshops and one-on-one sessions to help participants build digital skills and confidently access virtual resources.

  • Device Lending: Need a laptop to complete your training? We provide a device lending program to ensure you have the tools you need to succeed in your employment training.

  • Individualized Support: We provide personalized guidance, assessments, and support throughout the program to help you reach your career goals.

At CCS, we empower newcomers to build their skills and achieve their career goals. One inspiring success story is that of Wazhma Hamesh, a participant in our Child-Minding Language and Skills Training Program, who is now employed at Seaton Valley Childcare in Pickering.

Although Wazhma had no prior experience in childcare, her dedication during the program and her volunteer placement, combined with CCS’s support in resume writing, cover letter preparation, and interview coaching, helped her succeed. After completing her placement, she interviewed with several employers and ultimately secured a job with her placement host.
