Success Stories
- Jerome
Process
Engineer
Westco
I think the
Corporate Readiness Training Program is a good
opportunity for new immigrants to understand and learn about the
work culture in Alberta. It gives immigrants a chance to be part
of a company and gain Canadian experience. I completed my work
experience placement at
Westco, a major fertilizer distributor and
supplier of agronomic information in Western Canada. At
Westco, I
worked as a Project Engineer Assistant and collaborated on
a $50
million project to decontaminate a former fertilizer plant site to
meet environmental standards.
Although I was not offered employment with my host company at the
end of the program, I used the job search
skills I had learned in
the program. I sent my resume in response to an ad for a bilingual
Technical Representative
at Shell in the Lubricants and Fuels
Department. I was successful and today I am working at Shell. I am
very happy
in my position and enjoy the work that I am doing.
