Bridge-to-Work Service for Internationally Trained Accountants and Bookkeepers

This project is developing a training program for internationally-trained accountants and bookkeepers. Participants receive an individual assessment of needs and information, and referral for licensure and registration. The project also provides occupation-specific language training, as well as accounting and bookkeeping-specific computer application training. Working with area employers, participants have the opportunity to undertake paid or volunteer work placements in order to gain experience in the Ontario workplace.
