With intense determination and motivation this client has excelled in training for the workplace, and English language skills. After just two years he is now a Senior Project Manager with a company based in Mount Pearl. He arrived in Newfoundland and Labrador in November 2004 from Asia with minimal English skills. Although he had a diploma in Business Administration and a Master’s degree in Economics he was counselled by AXIS Career Services to complete a Pre-Employment Readiness Program. Part of his training included English as a Second Language through the Association for New Canadians. In early 2006 AXIS then placed him in a five week work placement with ICAN (International Communications and Navigation Ltd), a local company which implements and designs sophisticated communications and navigation software. Following his work placement in Sales and Marketing, this individual was hired on contract as a Marketing Analyst and by July 2007, was hired as a permanent employee.
