To achieve success, we first need to assess the student?s motivations, strengths and weaknesses, as well as any prior education; then, we search for the Canadian academic programs and institutions best suited to the student?s profile and priorities; finally, we follow up on the application process.
Leaving one?s parents, friends and country at a young age is a challenge. At this point of the process, we make use of our coaching skills as well as our personal experiences from when we, ourselves, arrived in Switzerland or Canada some years ago. We too experienced loneliness and some degree of culture shock. That is why we offer a three-month guidance: we greet the student at the airport, we help them with accommodation prior to their arrival, we guide them through the first administrative steps, we provide them with information on Canadian society and advice on how to successfully graduate as well as emotional and social support.
Hundreds of millions of people settle in a foreign country every year. Around 300,000 immigrants are welcomed in Canada every year. Colleges, universities and companies are fighting amongst themselves to recruit the best talent abroad. Cultural diversity can create tension, conflicts and insecurities. Our training sessions on intercultural differences provide each participant with the necessary skills to identify cultural differences, understand their origins and use them as an asset in their daily life, on both a professional and personal level.
In preparation for internships, study trips or language immersion projects, or any other project depending on the needs of academic institutions. Within this scope, we can help both parties get to know each other, find a mutual arrangement and work towards it. We monitor the partnership until its fruition so as to prevent and fix any possible hiccup in the collaboration.
For example, these sessions could focus on learning and teaching strategies, assessment, differentiated instruction, integration of social media and IT tools in courses, emotional intelligence, etc. depending on the needs and priorities of academic institutions.
We review, produce and implement critical programs on literacy, financial literacy and numeracy.
