What is Pre & Post Canadian Workplace Training (CWT)?
Are you looking for a job? Is English your second language? Pre & Post Canadian Workplace Training can help you find an entry-level job by offering both English and job-specific workplace training. After choosing their focus from the options below, students receive language instruction combined with a job-specific training and receive a certificate upon completion. Options include:
- Childcare Level 1 Certificate Training: Child Development Assistant certificate issued by Alberta Human Services.
- Hotel Housekeeping Job Training: Graduation certificate from CIES.
- Warehouse/Logistics Job Training: Graduation certificate from CIES.
In addition to technical skills training, you will also receive a chance to meet employers for workshops, presentations, and mock interviews. CWT students also receive a FREE monthly bus pass while they are enrolled in class.
