Job Search Workshop
"JSW" is a job search workshop offered to new Canadians who have been in Canada for five years or less. The participants learn about basic job search terminology, job options in Canada, current labour market situation, how to make the right career choice for the individual and how to effectively communicate with employers. It is a three-day group-based program (9:00 am to 4:00 pm) conducted every other week. Since launching the program, JSW has seen a success rate of 77%.
