Brookes College had our graduation on May 3rd, 2024. We were honoured to have had our partner, CRIEC’s  Executive Director, Nketti Johnston-Taylor, as our guest of honour to send an inspiring message to our graduates. There were accolades for our graduates about their hard work and achievements leading to graduation.  Nketti’s  message added to these accolades by turning our attention to the next step in our graduates’ career journey – mentorship. Her message about mentorship encouraged graduates to either turn around and offer a hand up to those who are just starting their educational journey or to accept a hand up from those who have reached the goals to which the graduates are aspiring. Nketti encouraged graduates to explore opportunities through CRIEC’s mentorship  programs.   Why is Brookes College partnering with a nonprofit settlement support organization? 80% of our student body are newcomers to Canada who are taking the next step in their settlement and integration journey by enrolling in further education and training  that will move them closer to a first or second career in Canada.  Career training colleges, both private and public are encouraged to work with nonprofits and settlement agencies such as CRIEC to find ways to support newcomers to work towards their chosen career goals – the next step in their settlement and integration journey.  #criec #privatepostsecondary #publicpostsecondary #settlement #integration #careertraining #mentorship

Life's journey often takes unexpected turns. Early decisions can sometimes lead us astray, but it's never too late to change direction. Mary Ann B.’s story is one of transformation, powered by determination and the right educational opportunities. The Pathway Portal partnership between Clark State College and Franklin University became Mary Ann’s compass, guiding her toward a brighter future. This innovative tool allowed her to seamlessly map out her educational journey from associate's to bachelor's degree, making her dream of higher education attainable despite a busy life as a mother and widow. Through Franklin's online program, Mary Ann found the flexibility to pursue a degree in Human Resources, aiming to advocate for those who, like her, have faced obstacles due to past struggles. The Pathway Portal not only showed her the classes she needed but also integrated her previous credits, providing a clear roadmap to success. Today, Mary Ann is proud of how far she’s come, turning past challenges into fuel for a meaningful career. Her message to others facing similar struggles: It's never too late to rewrite your story.

Navigating Challenges: My Journey at Virginia Union University Hello, LinkedIn community! As I take a moment to reflect on my journey at Virginia Union University, I am filled with gratitude for the growth and resilience I’ve experienced over the past few years. My path hasn’t always been easy. After facing homelessness following the tragic loss of my fiancé and our newborn son, I found myself in a dark place filled with uncertainty. However, with the support of compassionate mentors and my determination to create a better future, I enrolled at Virginia Union University, where I discovered a community that truly values perseverance and academic excellence. Here are some key lessons I’ve learned along the way: 💙 Resilience is Key: Every challenge I faced has only strengthened my resolve. I’ve learned that setbacks can lead to a brighter future. 💙 Community Matters: The support I’ve received from my professors, mentors, and peers has been invaluable. Building a network of compassionate individuals has made all the difference in my journey. 💙 Giving Back: As I navigate my academic and professional pursuits, I remain committed to helping others. As a mentor and UNCF Student Ambassador, I strive to empower those facing similar challenges to find their path to success. 🔍 I’d love to hear your thoughts: How have challenges shaped your journey?
