Both routes offer part-time and evening study options, along with flexible course selection, access to fee waivers, experiential education and career support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Offering a comprehensive educational experience tailored specifically for IEPs seeking to enhance their career prospects in Canada, the programs benefit from financial supports from both the government of Ontario, through the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training &amp; Skills Development, and the federal government, through Immigration, Refugees &amp; Citizenship Canada. Government funding goes toward supporting newcomers to access language development, career coaching and professional-level courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Art Noordeh<\/strong>&nbsp;is the academic director of the Bridging Program that, since its inception in 2010, has been instrumental in facilitating the career transitions of countless IEPs from diverse backgrounds and industries. \u201cOur aim,\u201d Noordeh says, \u201cis to empower individuals to unlock their full potential and contribute meaningfully to their chosen fields in Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 1,400 newcomers have participated in the programs since they started, says&nbsp;<strong>Monica Brennan<\/strong>, the Bridging Program\u2019s associate director. Currently, a new intake of over 80 students are beginning their IEP journey and adding to those numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brennan says participants have an option to continue at 快播视频 following the completion of the Foundations Program, where they can take additional university-level credit courses as visiting students in their chosen field or apply to join the certificate programs. To date, approximately&nbsp;<a>40 per cent&nbsp;<\/a>of participants have gone this route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the Foundation Program graduates is&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/laps\/iep\/success-story\/neha-aggarwal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Neha Aggarwal<\/a><\/strong>, who completed the program in December 2023. Despite having professional experience and expertise in her native India, she faced challenges securing interviews for a data analyst position after coming to Canada. After enrolling in York\u2019s Bridging Program for IEPs in 2023, she participated in networking seminars, technology summits, and career fairs that exposed her to industry professionals and peers with similar aspirations. She also participated in drop-in language classes on weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With enhanced language and communication skills, Aggarwal secured a data analyst internship within just one month of enrolment, a testament to the program\u2019s effectiveness in facilitating career transitions for IEPs. She has now joined the IEP Professional Certificate in Information Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy journey with the IEP program at 快播视频 has been a personal odyssey of growth and success,\u201d says Aggarwal, in a Foundations Program testimonial on the LA&amp;PS website. \u201cThis program has not just been a professional journey; it has been the best personal chapter since I arrived in Canada, setting the stage for continuous success and growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The professional certificate programs in both Canadian Business and IT have a long track record of success. The&nbsp;recently created Big Data &amp; Data Analytics stream has been designed to quickly transition established IT professionals into the highest-demand skills of today\u2019s workplace.&nbsp;The required course work includes deep theoretical knowledge, practical skills with current software packages and immersive project work in team environments.&nbsp;\u201cThese specialized IT skills can help relaunch the careers of IEP students on a new path well-aligned with the future of the Canadian economy,\u201d says Professor&nbsp;<strong>Stephen Chen<\/strong>&nbsp;of the School of Information Technology at 快播视频.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a ceremony last month \u2013 attended by Provost and Vice-President Academic&nbsp;<strong>Lisa Phillips&nbsp;<\/strong>and Interim Dean of LA&amp;PS&nbsp;<strong>Michele Johnson<\/strong>&nbsp; \u2013 recognizing newcomers who have graduated from the certificate programs or achieved career success, several attendees spoke \u2013 like Aggarwal \u2013 about the impact of York\u2019s IEP programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe program provided insights into the Canadian labour market, enhancing my understanding of industry trends and employer expectations. It equipped me with job search strategies, including resum\u00e9 writing and interview preparation, to effectively compete in the job market,\u201d said IT graduate&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/laps\/iep\/success-story\/dawit-gulta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dawit Gulta<\/a><\/strong>, who is currently working toward a graduate degree in big data and data analytics at 快播视频 and is a Mitacs graduate student intern at the Sunnybrook Research Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI learned essential knowledge and methodologies through the specialized courses in public administration. The practicum course allowed me to practise in a real public sector work setting, which led to my current job,\u201d said&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/laps\/iep\/success-story\/eva-yuanyuan-han\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">student&nbsp;<strong>Eva Yuanyuan Han<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;at the event. She joined the Ontario Ministry of Health as a resource analyst in May, graduating with a Certificate in Canadian Business in the Public Administration stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The graduates\u2019 words spoke not only to how the Bridging Program for IEPs benefits individuals but also how it enriches Canada\u2019s workforce with diverse talents and perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt 快播视频, we are dedicated to empowering IEPs with the resources required to unlock their potential to excel and fulfil their dreams in Canada,\u201d says Noordeh. \u201cThe transformative impact of the program helps them to overcome barriers and achieve significant career growth in the job market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more stories about graduates of the programs \u2013 including\u00a0<strong>Dawit Gulta<\/strong>, who won a Dean\u2019s Award for Research Excellence during his studies \u2013 visit the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/laps\/iep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bridging Program for IEPs website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally published in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/2024\/08\/14\/laps-bridging-program-empowers-international-professionals\/\">YFile<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>快播视频\u2019s Faculty of Liberal Arts &amp; Professional Studies (LA&amp;PS) is gaining recognition for its Bridging Program for Internationally Educated Professionals (IEPs), designed to assist newcomers to the country in navigating the complexities of the Canadian job market.
