EMPLOYMENT SERVICE, New Westminster Centre Integrated Workplace Experience Strategy (IWES) is an intensive 5 week training program where internationally educated ICT professionals will take courses on workplace communication and workplace cultural intelligence for the ICT workplace and in addition workshops on connecting to the community (volunteering) and business networking (how-to). After the training, the clients will work on job preparation in self-support groups as well as anything that they worked on in the previous five weeks in preparation for a practicum/internship. IWES is stalwartly and passionately supported by a group of elite ICT employers and governments who will help us in the program development and delivery to ensure that it meets their needs and that Guided Work Experience—one of the most intrinsic program components—effectively helps participants wade through sinuous and thorny path to meaningful employment.
