We are celebrating the completion of another Immigrant Youth Employment Program (IYEP) cohort at ISANS!

Eight young newcomers from India, Afghanistan, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Malawi, the Philippines and Tanzania have spent the past several weeks building the skills, knowledge and confidence needed to take their next steps in the Canadian workforce.

Through pre-employment training, participants explored workplace culture, safety, communication and other essential skills to help prepare for success in the workplace.

And the next chapter is already beginning! Some participants have already secured employment and are starting their new roles, while additional participants are currently interviewing with employers.

Congratulations to all eight graduates! Your hard work and determination are worth celebrating, and we’re excited to see where your career journeys take you.

We’re proud to support young newcomers as they build their careers and futures in Nova Scotia.

These opportunities go beyond a single networking session. They help newcomer women build professional networks, increase career confidence and strengthen their pathways to employment and economic participation.

We extend our sincere thanks to our guest speakers, Huwaida Medani, Fatu M. Kaba, Georges Hanna and Marcela Cameron, for sharing their expertise, insights and encouragement with participants.
