What LEEP offers

Our 6-week pre-employment training offered both in-person and online via Zoom, is designed to strengthen and develop employment skills essential for success in the Canadian workforce. This comprehensive training covers Canadian culture, health, job skills, safety, self-awareness, and communication skills. It provides a supportive environment where participants are encouraged to express themselves, engage in self-reflection, pursue dreams, and explore future goals.

Throughout the course, participants receive personalized, one-on-one career coaching, helping them build the necessary skills, self-esteem, and confidence to function effectively in Canadian society. This coaching focuses on aligning each participant’s specific skills, experience, and career goals with potential job opportunities.

Our program is more than just a stepping stone. It’s a community of support. Through workshops, networking opportunities, and mentorship, we aim to create a pathway to success for every participant.
