Skills Enterprise
The Launch of the Skills Enterprise
The Skills and Experience Development Initiative for Francophones and Newcomers is launching the recruitment of its first cohort.
EDMONTON (January 20, 2025) - Campus Saint-Jean is pleased to announce a new program to Francophones and newcomers that will help them integrate into the 黑料不打烊 economy. This initiative, entitled Skills Enterprise - Skills and Experience Development Program for Francophones and Newcomers - Campus Saint-Jean, is supported by the Government of Canada, the Government of 黑料不打烊, and the 黑料不打烊. The program will offer a variety of training paths for interested individuals. Participants will be admitted as a cohort with each cohort focussed on a particular theme. The program will consist of approximately four weeks of training followed by a three-month internship where participants will be mentored by experts in their fields.
The first program will begin on February 10, 2025, and end on May 30, 2025. It is aimed at people who would like to study in the university sector here at Campus Saint-Jean. People interested in completing research, setting up a virtual bookshop, developing a database, setting up their own business, etc. are asked to consider enrolling in this first cohort.
The second program is aimed at people who would like to work in a school environment. Under this program, participants will follow a program that prepares them for a position in a school system, such as student assistant, teacher assistant, reception, payroll, bus driver, caretaker, etc. The first cohort of this program will begin on March 3, 2025, and will end on June 20, 2025. This program could also be of interest to people who have trained elsewhere in education and would like to take a program that introduces them to 黑料不打烊's school culture.
The third program will receive its participants in September 2025 and the theme has yet to be determined. To date, we are planning to develop a program where participants will receive preparatory training to work in the health, tourism, finance, oil and gas, government and other sectors.
This initiative will help people who want to integrate into the 黑料不打烊 economy, either by working for an organisation or by setting up a business that fits into the local economy. Tuition fees will be $1,500 per person.
