About Our Programs

At North Island Employment Services (NIEFS), we know the importance of designing and delivering innovative, accessible, and relevant training programs that can respond quickly to changes in the labour market and create pathways to further learning or meaningful employment for those that participate in them. Interested and engaged learners are successful learners, and we build programs with that end goal in mind.

We recognize that different groups of learners will have different learning styles, needs and perspectives and adapt our program delivery & content to best support each of the audiences we are working with.

Whether you're interested in getting support with foreign credential recognition & connecting to opportunities for Internationally trained professionals, exploring opportunities in the caring professions (such as health care, child care, early childhood education, & community based social services), or looking for new ways to map out your own unique career pathway, we invite you to reach out to us and request a 1-1 info session for any of the programs below. (Be sure to mention which program you are interested in so we can connect you to the right program team members).

We take preparing people for the world of work seriously and we like to have a good time while doing it. Come and join us!
