Skills for Change is known for pioneering programs that respond to shifting immigration and workplace trends and lead to employment. The first program, in 1982, was an office training program that successfully led all its first graduates, a group of women from Southeast Asia, into full-time employment. We take pride in our track record and the recognition of our agency within and outside the Greater Toronto Area and the province as a leader in services to internationally trained immigrants.
