Renison’s School of Global Engagement and Education is excited to announce the launch of a new free online training resource: Skills for Success: Building transferable skills for the workplace.
This self-guided, asynchronous resource is designed to support newcomers to Canada who are developing foundational and transferable skills for the workplace. It integrates essential workplace skills with English language support, making it especially valuable for those entering or re-entering the workforce.
The resource includes four interactive modules, each featuring:
- Short instructional videos
- Downloadable tools and resources
- Reflection activities
Users can choose the modules most relevant to their personal and professional goals. The content is culturally responsive and developed by experts in continuing education, essential skills, and English language instruction, with input from newcomer support organizations.
This initiative is funded in part by the Government of Canada’s Skills for Success program, which began in fall 2023. It aligns with the Skills for Success Framework from Employment and Social Development Canada, highlighting the essential skills needed to thrive in today’s workforce.
We extend our sincere thanks to Renison University College for its support in the project. Special appreciation to the staff from the School of Global Engagement and Education, who brought their expertise, creativity, and commitment to the development of this resource.
