Together with leading community groups, webCampus assists many new Canadians and migrant workers in adjusting to their new lives in Canada by offering courses that expand workplace skills and discuss important subject areas like democracy, politics, history, health and safety, information technology, women’s issues and labour rights.

Fabrice Musafiri, who accesses webCampus through the Peel Multicultural Council, writes:

“What I can share as a newcomer is that the courses helped me get the knowledge of the Canadian sales and marketing strategies and gained confidence through learning different aspects of Canadian business.

“I thank UFCW Canada for providing such a great and convenient learning tool. I find the courses very helpful and useful.

“My special thanks go to Peel Multicultural Centre (PMC) because they helped me a lot. I could not be where I am today, that’s why I'll try my best to succeed.”

Thank you,

Fabrice Musafiri
