Hybrid Program (5 Weeks Online + 4 Weeks In-Person)
Weeks 1-5: Online Classes
The first 5 weeks of this program are conducted online from your home country. The courses are delivered through the Robertson Learning Management System (Brightspace), focusing primarily on job-related English. During this period, you will enhance your English skills necessary for workplace communication and prepare for international employment. Additionally, improving your language skills will help you perform effectively in diverse global work environments.
Week 6: Arrival in Calgary & Settlement Services
Before the in-person classes begin, you are required to arrive in Calgary one week prior to week 7 to complete settlement services. These services support you with the initial steps of settling in Canada, such as arranging accommodation (homestay or room rental), setting up a mobile phone, opening a bank account, registering for provincial health insurance, obtaining a driver’s license, getting a SIN number, and acquiring a transit card. Settlement services ensure that you can start your life in Canada smoothly.
Weeks 7-10: In-Person Classes & Hands-On Experience
After completing the settlement services, you will attend in-person classes and practical learning sessions in Calgary from week 7 to week 10. During this period, you will engage in advanced training on workplace success and job skills, learning the practical skills needed in a professional environment. This experience allows you to build hands-on expertise and strengthen the critical skills necessary for successful employment preparation.
