It was a welcoming and productive experience for Directions for Immigrants to once again attend this year’s Youth Employment Summit (YES!) for Newcomers, hosted by Calgary Catholic Immigration Society, CCIS at Platform Calgary.

The event brought together a vibrant community of newcomer youth and adults' immigrants, connecting them with service providers, employers, and community partners. Participants had the opportunity to gain valuable tips, access support, and explore meaningful employment opportunities.

The guest speakers and discussion panelists offered incredible valuable insights! It was a truly remarkable experience!

We greatly appreciated the warmth and shared commitment demonstrated throughout the day, which allowed us to have a great time and have engaging connection moments! Alycia Koenigsberg, Miroslav Reljić, Meenakshi Lamba, Aneta Popa, CCS, Amal Ibrahim, Mo Haoussa, G.I.T, PMP®, Jason Zhang, Dennis Agbegha, BSc, MSc. Hasmik Asmaryan

CCIS' YES! event provided a valuable opportunity to engage with motivated youth exploring pathways to education and employment, while also strengthening connections with organizations across the sector.

We extend our sincere thanks to Calgary Catholic Immigration Society CCIS for organizing such a meaningful initiative!
