Whether you currently work with newcomers or want to become more involved in supporting refugee rights, this training will help you build cultural competency skills and put them into practice. Through this training, you will gain the resources you need to help educate others in your workplace or community.

Delivered in a train-the-trainer format, this program is designed for volunteers, service providers, private refugee sponsorship groups, government employees, business groups, or anyone interested in building their skills and knowledge to tackle the barriers newcomer refugees face in our workplaces and communities.
