The Province says it is supporting newcomers to Victoria who are looking for work by providing $210,992 toward English language training at Camosun College for high-demand jobs.
Camosun College will provide training to recent immigrants to help them overcome language barriers faced when seeking employment in the construction, engineering and health sectors, as well as other career and professional occupations.
About one-third of immigrants say they are employed at a lower level than they were in their country of origin.
Overall funding of $2.6 million is being provided province-wide to help approximately 1,200 newcomers to B.C. get language training for the job market.
