The Facilitating Access to Skilled Talent program, or FAST, started in 2019 and has helped more than 500 newcomers gain skills to get jobs in Canada.
Host Jeff Douglas spoke with a former participant, Saeed Fallahtafti, about his experience in the program.
At first, I went to ISANS to participate in some workshops — how to prepare for interviews, how to prepare and polish my resumé based on Canadian culture — and after a couple of months, I realized I'm not entitled to the same position that I used to have in my home country and I need to start from scratch. That was a challenging time for me ... but I accepted [it].For sure.
After consulting with my employment specialist, I realized this course was useful for me and can be a bridge for me to make a connection between my past experience and the Canadian financial world.There are some advantages for this course. The first one is that, in a short period of time, I could complete a valid certificate in accounting in Canada and that was a huge advantage. The second one is, it was an interactive course.
