Program Description
As a stand-alone series of workshops, Career Success in Canada is aimed at newcomers in Manitoba. While newcomers to Canada often possess high technical skills, they may lack the “soft skills” that are typically expected by Canadian employers, which can result in a difficult transition to the Canadian workplace. This workshop series aims to address this particular challenge facing many newcomers.
By completing the Letter of Accomplishment: Career Success in Canada , you will develop the soft skills that will help you succeed in the Canadian workplace. Specifically, you’ll learn about expectations and unwritten rules in the workplace, underlying cultural norms, and workplace culture in Canada.
