A meaningful day of learning and connection for participants in the Support through Training, Employment and Pathways (STEP) Program.

Yesterday, we were pleased to welcome Ben from the Edmonton's Food Bank, who shared valuable information about food bank operations, food handling safety, workplace footwear, and volunteer opportunities.

Participants also learned how they can get involved in the community through volunteering, with several signing up for volunteer opportunities with the Edmonton Food Bank.

Thank you to Ben and the Edmonton Food Bank for being a valued partner and creating meaningful opportunities for our participants to build skills, gain experience, and connect with the community.

20 newcomers. One new pathway into Alberta’s skilled trades.

We’re excited to welcome 20 participants to the second cohort of the Trades Ready Training (TRT) Program, which officially began on August 31.

Delivered in partnership with the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (UPAT DC17), the program connects newcomers with hands-on training, industry recognized certifications, employability skills, and direct connections to employers.

Through TRT, participants are building the skills and industry knowledge they need to pursue meaningful careers in Alberta’s construction sector.

Strong partnerships create stronger pathways to employment, and we’re proud to work alongside industry partners to help newcomers build their careers and contribute to Alberta’s workforce.

Learning the Basics of Camping in Canada

Last month, Immigrant Women’s Integration Network (I-WIN) participants joined Parks Canada for a hands-on Learn to Camp 101 session.

Participants learned how to set up and take down a tent, explored essential camping gear, and picked up important bear safety tips. They also had the opportunity to practice their skills, ask questions, share experiences, and connect with one another outdoors.

A big thank you to Racheal and Silayan from Parks Canada for making the session welcoming, practical, and fun. We appreciate you helping newcomers feel more confident exploring Canada’s outdoors.

We’re excited to see participants put these new skills to use as they continue exploring more outdoor adventures ahead!
