training programs that will help newcomers, provincial minister of immigration Dr. Eric Hoskins said on March 18 at a media reception, where he met several ethnic media representatives for the first time.
"Good language skills are the foundation for success for newcomers," the minister noted. "This investment helps newcomers improve language skills, contribute to the workforce, and help build a stronger Ontario."
The funding will support 31 language training programs that expect to help newcomers land jobs and be more successful in their current jobs. Accounting, business and finance, information technology, engineering and manufacture, health care and pharmaceutical, hospitality and tourism are some of the sectors these new programs will focus on.
The new programs will strengthen language skills, with a specific focus on the language use in the work place, according to a ministry press release. Some of these programs will be taught in the workplace itself.
The additional funding will be invested over three years.
