At SCS, we are committed to empowering new Canadians. That’s why we’ve partnered with Windmill Microlending.
We know that many new Canadians face career and educational barriers. Training and skill development is essential to help people create positive change in their own lives, as well as the lives of others. At SCS, we are committed to empowering new Canadians. That’s why we’ve partnered with Windmill Microlending.
Windmill supports immigrants and refugees who come to Canada with education, skills, and experience, but struggle to resume their careers here. By providing low-interest microloans of up to $15,000 to skilled immigrants and refugees, Windmill helps newcomers obtain the Canadian licensing or training required to work in their field, or to secure a position that matches their level of education, skills, and experience.
Together with Windmill, we aim to support under-employed new Canadians who cannot afford the cost of professional development. In fact, Windmill will assist eligible newcomers to help them identify and chose career-based programs at SCS that are suitable for funding. Newcomers from anywhere in Canada can work with Windmill to explore learning options, and select courses or certificates that will support career growth. With hundreds of courses available online, and a strong commitment to inclusivity, we aim to remove barriers to education, and make learning accessible to all.
