Here is what some recent graduates had to say about ELT:

Before ELT, I wasn’t seeing the whole picture of what is settled in the Canadian workplace and culture. After I took this course, I feel more confident to achieve my goals as a newcomer and professional in Canada. I can say my key takeaways are to: build a community by networking and volunteering, prepare to be ready for opportunities is essential, and you have great potential so don’t be afraid to speak up and demonstrate your skills!

And most importantly, I learned how to be resilient and accept and adapt to changes and challenges in this journey.

Also, I learned that am not alone in this journey. I am walking with other newcomers who came to Canada with backpacks full of dreams and skills. Thanks to the ELT class I met incredible people (teacher (Marcella), Centre staff (Ryan and volunteers), and classmates) during the program who helped me a lot to grow as a human being.

I participated in the ELT program Spring 2025. During this entire time, teachers helped me with any questions and requests I could potentially have regarding the job search process. I want to thank Ryan and Marcella specifically, who helped me immensely to prepare for the interviews and screen calls. I got the job by the way!

Besides job search-related activities, the program allowed me to improve my English skills and meet so many amazing people along the way!

I would definitely recommend participating in the ELT program as it gives you insights into the Canadian workplace and is tailored to help newcomers to adapt to a new market.
