Newcomer Program Event: Celebrating Success & Building Connections

The Newcomer Program continues to grow and thrive, and we’re excited to share an update on our most recent accomplishment. On September 12th, we hosted our Resume Critiquing Event, and it was a huge success! Nearly 50 newcomers attended to have their resumes reviewed, gain valuable feedback, and connect with our employer partners through networking activities. The energy in the room was incredible, and participants walked away with stronger resumes, new connections, and a boost of confidence as they continue their employment journey.

A big shout-out to our Vecova volunteers – without your support, this event would not have been possible! One participant shared: “Having someone take the time to go through my resume and give advice meant so much. Thank you for helping me take this next step.”

If you’re inspired by this success and want to support newcomers on an ongoing basis, we’re always looking for volunteers to serve as Community Connectors or Language Interpreters. Your involvement helps newcomers feel welcomed, supported, and ready to thrive.
