Program Description
This full-time LINC program is for immigrant youth between the ages of 18 and 24. It provides instruction in language and academic skills as well as preparation for further post-secondary education in Canada.
You'll study reading, writing, listening and speaking. You will also do the following:
- find out about education and career paths in Canada
- develop communication and presentation skills
- learn about Canadian culture and living in Canada
- improve financial literacy
- computer and Internet skills (we'll lend you a laptop)
There are five levels to this program. We'll place you in a level based on Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLBs) and in-class assessments. The highest level of this program is a transition course into the English for Academic Purposes program.
