“It’s a great opportunity for every [job] seeker. FEW knows all aspects in this area, they don’t need to improve in any field. Sushma was and is a great teacher; she has a talent to make all students love her subject. Barbara helped to find a suitable place for work placement, even better than I thought. I’m glad I came.”
Svetlana Monakhova – July 2010
“Go to FEW. It will change your life because you don’t know anything about yourself. Because when you are newcomer in Canada, you have no idea what’s happening. You want something but you don’t know what. I didn’t know if I could work here based on my studies in Romania. It’s important to have someone who knows you to guide you. I lost my identity until I came here.”
Mihaela Burleanu – April 2010
“When I came to Canada, I know I have my certifications, but Skills [Unlimited] helped me to put all my skills together to be prepared for the job market. When you tell them [employers] what skills you have, they are more likely to hire you and need you. I learned what I have to offer. I really appreciate all the work they do for me. I am supported and feel thankful for what they do. They are positive and feel they need to do more but I think they are doing great. I am always going to come back to link myself to them.”
