Winifred echoes what many new immigrants to Canada experience: “The hardest part is getting yourself settled into a job that is appropriate for you, your skills—and that is to your satisfaction.”
Born and educated in Guyana, Winifred was an educator for more than 20 years before immigrating to Canada in April 2012. A loan from Windmill Microlending helped Winifred pay for the costs to complete a six-month diploma program while she worked part-time. After her studies, Winifred chose to bring her skills and passion to her role as an Early Childhood Program Facilitator.
