The idea

Why Project Confidence?

While many candidates like new immigrants, BIPOC and women meet the professional qualifications needed in Canada, they struggle to secure jobs that require Canadian experience, which takes a long time to gain. To improve their employability, Project Confidence focuses on providing foundational leadership courses and exposure to these groups of the Canadian workforce.

Project Confidence focuses on providing the right skills and experience with specialization options based on job market demand, which are identified through official government data. Each individual will be completing the leadership foundation course or specialized courses through instructor-led live/virtual sessions. They will also have an opportunity to engage in a one-month long project with a Canadian Company.

Who Benefits?

Project Confidence is designed to support new commers and underrepresented groups seeking professional jobs to “bridge” the gap between their international training, education, and experience and the expertise they need to work in Ontario in a progressive job. This access to training, support and coaching  ensures an accredited certificate and would lead to meaningful employment.

Why Apply Here?

Many individuals have skills  however, just need the opportunity to upgrade and improve  their network. This program will allow them to  build  their confidence, learn from academic and industry professionals, and gain an accredited  certificate   to share with perspective employers.

Job Readiness

During this phase, participants will receive 1:1 support to develop their resume,  prepare for interviews  and professional guidance to leverage their network to increase their chances of securing a professional position.
