Newcomer Workforce Integration for Women
Our workforce integration services support immigrant and refugee women across Ontario in navigating the Canadian job market. We provide culturally sensitive career coaching, credential recognition support, and confidence-building workshops tailored to the unique challenges faced by newcomer women in Toronto, London, and surrounding regions.
Entrepreneurship and Social Enterprise Training

These programs help break cycles of poverty and create generational economic change in underserved communities.
Culturally Responsive Trauma Recovery Workshops
We provide critical wraparound supports—including mentorship, childcare assistance, and transportation aid—so that women and youth can fully participate in our programs without logistical barriers. These services are vital to shelters, employment programs, and funders committed to long-term success in Ontario communities.
