To help individuals advance their careers, the Ottawa Chinese Community Service Centre, in partnership with Lighthouse Labs, is excited to offer transformative essential skills training courses on teamwork, collaboration, communication, problem solving, and critical thinking in the workplace.

This training is available at no cost to eligible applicants thanks to the ICT Boost Initiative - a program funded in part by the Government of Canada’s Sectoral Workforce Solutions Program (SWSP).

A Canadian Citizen, Permanent Resident or a person who has been granted refugee status in Canada

Research has shown that 95% of people believe they accurately understand the impressions they make on others. But the same study also shows that most of those people were wrong! Only 10-15% of people truly understood how others saw them.
