Looking Back and Leaping ForwardThis past year can be categorized by stability in programs but change, adaptation and innovation in everything else.

Let’s remember back to those very different days in the early part of the 2019-2020 contract year. The vast majority of service was in person, nobody gave much consideration to crowding into a classroom or office and, almost inconceivably now, people ventured within a foot of one another. Fast forward to the end of the contract year (March, 2020) and the world was gripped by a mysterious illness that shuttered programs, schools and society. While scary and anxiety-inducing, we all received a stark reminder of how quickly life can change and the critical importance of adapting and growing at all times.

In response to COVID-19, each of our programs has found a unique way to adapt to the new environment as well as the unique needs of their participants. It has been inspiring to watch, because this all happened without notice and while everyone was dealing with their own individual stresses and angst in their lives as they feared what would happen next, whether they’d maintain employment and where they would find their next roll of toilet paper.

But so many of you not only survived the stresses, but also thrived. You saw this as an opportunity to create new ways to connect with participants and one another. You innovated and your clients and learners benefited.

These adjustments and enhancements will continue well into the coming year and with the leadership of our staff and the support of their supervisors, program officers, coordinators and central support, we will continue to lead in our field.

Our special thanks goes out to all of our staff for enduring, growing and supporting others through these challenging times. They have demonstrated their immense commitment and dedication and the coming year will no doubt require more of the same. Also, a special thank you to our union partners who have adapted with us, provided input and ideas and helped us transition to these new and different times.

We have so much to look forward to this year. While we hope for a return to “normal” with respect to the health of our communities, we know that what was considered normal from a program perspective will never be the same again. We have collectively leapt forward digitally and with that, now have ways to engage our communities, clients, learners and staff in ways previously unimaginable. We encourage you to continue to build and grow in these ways and to envision programming that is inclusive, adaptable, accessible and equitable. These are strange, and sometimes scary, times but they are also times filled with an abundance of opportunity for engagement and collaboration.

In the meantime, wear your masks, stay six feet apart, stay safe and stay positive. We appreciate the tremendous work your teams have done, the resiliency of our clients, learners and partners during these difficult times and know that together we will get through this stronger.

Thank you!

OUR RESPONSE TO COVID-19

Essential Skills Upgrading (ESU) program, for example, developed an online assessment process for new learners and also connected with new learners via phone/email to ensure they are able to participate successfully in the assessment process. Assessment materials were updated to provide consistency between in-person and online assessments of learners’ skills and abilities. Many instructors implemented ZOOM instruction for those who had digital capacity and utilized email/phone learning and Canada Post services for others.

While our learners with low levels of literacy skills have been disproportionally impacted by this change in service delivery, learners with higher literacy skills report visible progress and increased satisfaction with their growing digital technology skills. They recognize the value of their newly acquired skills as well as the self-efficacy they have been able to develop as they were ‘forced’ to adapt to online learning. They have expressed an increased confidence in their ability to access future learning opportunities and an improved outlook regarding their employability skills.

Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) program implemented changes to the language instruction to provide language lessons online to many English language learners. LINC Instructors completed

the LearnIT2Teach training in the first few weeks of the lockdown and started to use various platforms such as WhatsApp, Zoom, Big Blue Button, text and even by phone to reach out to learners; they were innovative and discovered new ways to effectively teach remotely.

To manage the isolation, LINC program created chat groups for Instructors by CLB levels. This was a great forum for instructors to share ideas and support each other during this time.

Care for Newcomer Children (CNC) staff and Program Officers opened an Instagram account that was a great success. Parents and their children engaged in simple interactive activities with household items and supplies readily available. The children enjoyed the themed stories and walks in nature.

Next-Steps Employment Centre (NSEC) and SCEA achieved significant milestones and set new standards of excellence as our program saw many changes to how we operate and deliver services online. We had the opportunity to jump into action and develop an online task team to create over 30 online workshops and resources to support our clients. We have had virtual job fairs, intakes, assessments and job search support. This was only possible with a core team of selflessly

The official arrival of the pandemic in Canada in mid-March 2020 had a profound effect on everything we do. In a very short period of time, our sites were closed, staff were asked to work from home, learners and clients were informed, all program activities including language and skills development classes were redesigned so that they could be offered online. The “pivot” to remote services meant, in some cases, the cancellation of exams and other program requirements.

Clients and learners are at the centre of everything we do and now is no different. Working closely with our funders and other stakeholders, we adopted new requirements and processes to ensure that clients and learners wouldn’t have to face new barriers.

committed staff and the support of our capable administrative and management team. NSEC continues to develop new online resources in order to serve clients seamlessly from wherever they are.

Newcomer Services continued to support newcomers on their new journey in their new home, guiding them to needed programs and supports via phone or web-conference. Workshops were delivered virtually using Zoom. Dedicated staff were able to continue to provide assessments and support the full range of needs. They also assisted in the filling out of forms for important government services and were able to provide advice and emotional support in many areas.

Enhanced Language Training (ELT) team managed to collaborate, learn the gaps, refresh content, develop new online forms, continue to create client placements and support one another to ensure on time delivery.

ELT staff and supervisors quickly adapted to the new environment and were able to provide services that were highly catered to the needs of clients.

Welcoming Communities program focussed their efforts on assisting families to meet their immediate needs to deal with the unexpected pandemic. They assisted to make referrals to services, such as food banks, and, also access to laptops through their school. For the newcomer kids and youth who were able, activities such as arts and crafts, were offered virtually.

Studio 500 programs moved fast to adapt lessons to an online learning environment by pre-recording instructional learning videos and developing blended learning models according to which the theory components would be delivered online, 2 days per week, and practical component would be delivered in-class 3 days per week.

Since On the Line (OTL) is a culinary program, the team decided to pre-record instructional learning videos and adapt lessons to an online learning environment. Recipes and lessons were shared and conducted on Zoom, then participants were on their own to prepare the recipe. Upon completion they would send pics of their creations to the instructor for evaluation.

“ I never felt embarrassed about asking a question in the classroom and other students were also at ease asking questions. No questions ever remained unanswered. When I left the class I actually felt more confident using MS Word!. ” Claudia

Building bridges to a brighter future

The Enhanced Language Training (ELT) program helps newcomers bridge their international training, education and experience with employment opportunities in Canada. This 14-week program includes an 8-week in-class training portion followed by a 6-week work placement. Classes are taught by industry professionals and offer the opportunity to network and improve employability skills. The program focuses on the following sectors: Accounting, Customer Service &Administration, Engineering, Financial Services, Health & Wellness, IT, and Sales & Marketing.

Clients benefit by: • Improving their Business English proficiency

• Increasing their knowledge of sector-specific terminology

• Enhancing workplace essential skills

• Building professional networks

• Gaining job experience through unpaid job placements

Getting back to basics; increasing independence

Essential Skills Upgrading (ESU) provides non-credit instruction in reading, writing, numeracy and digital technology to adults who speak English and who have goals of employment, further education (secondary or post-secondary) apprenticeship and/or greater personal independence. We are a goal-driven, outcomes-based, learner-centred program dedicated to helping our learners acquire the skills they need to transition towards their goals. With full-time, part-time and evening classes across the city, as well as a one-to-one tutoring program, we are able to offer participants flexible learning options in convenient locations.

Through a network of partnerships, we offer a variety of “Computers for Work” workshops which allow employment-focused clients acquire the digital technology skills employers are looking for. In addition to our learners, we assist many clients through referrals to other learning opportunities which best meet their needs.

Welcoming Communities Creative Writing Program

Welcoming Communities has been offering creative writing workshops in Elementary and High Schools with newcomer students since September 2018. The goal of the program is to create a safe, welcoming and creative space for students to explore their ideas, their imagination and develop their writing skills. We encourage newcomer students to believe in their own abilities as successful poets and writers, and that their voices deserve to be heard. Publishing the students works validates their efforts and allows them to develop confidence in their writing skills.

One student who benefited from this program was Somiah (grade 4), who successfully wrote an excellent, creative story accompanied by gorgeous illustrations. Reflecting on her experience, Somiah wrote the following:

“ Thank you so much Ms. Charlotte and Ms.Sofia for inspiring us to write these books. Thank you so much for wasting all your time on us and listening to us. I am so grateful to have you guys in my life and you guys made my dreams come true cause I always wanted to write a book. Thank you for spending hours on us. You guys brought happiness to our lives. Thank you so much. We all appreciate it a lot. You guys are awesome. THANK YOU SO MUCH! ”

“ I learned that, with the right words, I can touch people’s souls and make them pay attention to what I want them to pay attention to. I learned that I have potential, and after showing one or two of my poems, I got more confident to share them with other people, that actually loved them . ”(Greenwood Slam Poetry Participant – Sept 2019 - March 2020.)“ I learned about myself that I am a good writer. ”(Greenwood Short Story Participant – Sept 2019 - March 2020.)“ I learned that I have a good imagination. ” (Dixon Grove Chapter Book Program, Grade 5, March 2019- June 2019)

WHAT INSPIRES US?

When we asked students what they learned about themselves from this project, here is what they had to say:



CLIENT/LEARNER SUCCESS STORIES: WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
