Oluwole's Success Story
Oluwole moved to Canada in search of a better life, and more opportunities for his family. Oluwole was proactive in his job search, trying to achieve local employment even before arriving in Canada. Once arrived in Canada, he immediately continued his job search locally.
Since he had not achieved employment and was unfamiliar with local resources and the Canadian job market, Oluwole decided to reach out to Calgary Career Hub for support. He enrolled in Calgary Career Hub’s 12-week plan. In this service, he received support through workshops to develop an effective resume and cover letter. In Job Development, Oluwole also gained access to employer and recruiter connections where he learned of new job leads and got referrals. During the 12 weeks, Oluwole worked on his interview skills and learned how to market his transferable skills to local employers. As he gained a better understanding of his skills, he was able to apply more effectively to local job opportunities.
By the end of service, Oluwole had not only enhanced his job-seeking skills but also gained a deeper understanding of how to navigate the local job market effectively, which is a skillset he will carry forward in his career. After just three months in Canada, Oluwole achieved employment as Lead - HRIS Implementation Project. Oluwole shared that he feels proud of this accomplishment.
