The following testimonials are from former Experica participants.

Sameh W. - Accounting Clerk

"My experience with Experica was a unique added-value on the professional and personal levels because it was a great opportunity to interact with a real Canadian business environment and interface with professional people. Working with Experica has enhanced my capabilities to fit in the job market.
It was a privilege to gain effective communication skills through Experica.
I feel that my level of confidence in the work I do is excellent because Experica gave me the opportunity to discuss and practise my technical skills and the strengths of my business background. Also, Experica gave me the means to express myself professionally.
I really, deep from my heart, appreciate the support and assistance I got from all the coordinators. The coordinators were very supportive, motivating and cooperative. They helped me all the time. They are the idle example of professionalism and devotion for serving the interest of the participants.
My ability to do job search activities has increased significantly due to the rich experience I gained from Experica in this regard.
Thank you very much for everything Experica has done for me"

For me, the guidance of the firm's the management team has enabled me to grow, and fully realize my talents.

This program is important and I believe it is effective."

Paul R. - Marketing officer

"Prior to joining Experica, I was having serious difficulties making the transition to a new career as well, having been out of work for several months, I found that I was becoming easily discouraged with my job search and began to doubt my abilities. Joining Experica had a dual effect on me, first of all, it gave me the opportunity to update and fine tune my skills in the marketing area. The work was relevant and interesting and the coordinators were supportive and helpful. Working in a dynamic environment and interacting with new people reinvigorated me. I looked forward to coming to work everyday."

The program also provides access to various technical and software applications used in my field which has helped me stay current and proficient in my work usage of them...."
