Newcomer Canadians graduate from leadership development program
The newest group of graduates from the Leadership and Community Development Program celebrated their completion through the program Thursday afternoon.
Program is run by Women's Enterprise Skills Training of Windsor and explores education and career options
A community program for newcomer women teaching leadership skills and discussing career opportunities saw its new batch of graduates Thursday afternoon.
Funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, dozens of women were able to learn about educational paths available to them, career opportunities and leadership skills that people use in their jobs. The program is run by Women's Enterprise Skills Training of Windsor (WEST).
Anabella Hatami, social worker at WEST, said starting on day one, they emphasize to students that they are already leaders.
"You have leadership skills, you're just building up on them and growing," said Hatami.
The next group of students will start in the program Aug. 6.
