At those events the feedback we gotten is that the different community organizations that we allowed newcomer families to meet with. So many partners organization had a chance to speak at those events, facilitated sort of community engagement for newcomer families.

The Youth Work Exposure Program provided me with the necessary training to find a job, particularly, working with children and youth. The sessions on workplace communication and child development taught me a lot, which gave me the confidence to apply for other jobs. I am doing well in the job interviews by applying the knowledge I gained from the program.
