Volunteer opportunities for adults within NCP are extensive. We treat each position similarly to employment in the sense that we require a resume, conduct formal interviews and match skills to current needs within the organization. Volunteer positions provide newcomers with Canadian experience and sometimes a reference after the 3-month contract has been successfully completed. With this newly gained Canadian work experience, new immigrants can boldly set forth on their search for employment in this country. This opportunity allows newcomers to showcase their abilities within our working environment. These positions are unpaid.

Our co-op placement program allows newcomers to develop real work experience at many of our affiliated external companies. Here you will attend an 8 to 10-week full time educational class to develop an understanding of work place language, office culture and etiquette, resume writing for the Canadian employment market as well as interview skills. Upon successful completion of the course, a co-op placement is possible although not guaranteed. This placement is unpaid, however; occasionally full-time employment may be gained from this opportunity.
