“OFE is the place to be when you are a newcomer and a job seeker in Canada. In this great place, you can benefit from many training job workshops to build and enhance your soft and hard skills for the Canadian workplace. I would like to express my gratitude to all the staff of OFE because with their advice and coaching, I finally got my first job in Canada.”

Lisa
Electrical Validation Engineer

"When I came to OFE, I found the structure to be very motivating and the intentionality behind OFE’s Job Search Action Plan creates a solid foundation for an effective job search. Being with other job seekers reduced the feelings of isolation I had been experiencing and the strong encouragement from the staff re-affirmed my confidence to seek new employment. Through the process, I engaged in workshops, which helped me to identify my strengths and transferrable skills, and this broadened the scope of my job search, resulting in me finding a job that exceeded my expectations."
