Featured Impact Stories
Meet Hashima — Hired through Nurture Hub Edmonton
Before: Despite seven years of experience, Hashima couldn't secure stable work due to "no Canadian experience." She worked two survival jobs and still struggled to support her family.
After Nurture: Through the GROW Space, she completed hands-on training in food production, digital tools, and customer service. Within eight weeks, she moved into paid transitional employment with the Nurture Empowerment Initiative, supporting packaging, labeling, and online orders.
Today: Hashima is now the back-of-house lead at the Nurture Café and is saving for her first apartment — a clear example of how Nurture creates real pathways to employment and stability for immigrant women.
Meet Abigail — From Invisible to Independent
Before: Abigail, a newcomer from Nigeria, applied to 122 jobs without receiving a single interview. She described feeling "invisible" in the labour market.
After Nurture: She entered the Nurture Empowerment Initiative™ to build experience in hospitality and retail operations. She supported product packaging, including the treats and the Mediterranean Lentil Soup Mix now sold at Nurture.
Today: Abigail is employed full-time with one of our restaurant corporate partners and now mentors other newcomer women entering the program — turning her own breakthrough into a pathway for others.
Meet Sofía — From Overlooked Experience to Leadership in Customer Service
Before: Sofía arrived in Canada from Peru with years of professional HR experience in human resources. Despite her background, she found herself working as a cashier at Walmart, with her skills and leadership potential largely overlooked.
After Nurture: Through Grow Women Leaders, Sofía joined the program as a trainee in administrative operations. She contributed directly to HR administration and backend corporate support through Nurture, gaining hands-on Canadian experience and renewed confidence in her abilities.
Today: Sofía has stepped into a new role as a Customer Service Manager at Walmart Canada. She now leads with confidence, contributes at a higher level to her team, and delivers stronger customer experiences—aligned with her skills and professional strengths. "For the first time, someone saw my potential—not my accent or my lack of Canadian experience." — Sofía
Meet Uma — From Searching to Stepping Into Her First Canadian Professional Role
Before: Uma arrived in Canada with over a decade of experience in systems administration, operations, and customer service. Yet without Canadian experience or strong local networks, her skills went unseen, and securing that first opportunity felt out of reach.
After Nurture: Through the Canadian Career Plus Program (CC+P), Uma received targeted resume support, interview coaching, and confidence-building guidance. She learned how to translate her international experience into language Canadian employers understand and how to navigate the hiring process with clarity and confidence.
Today: Uma has secured her first Canadian role as a Guest Service Representative at TELUS World of Science – Edmonton. She is gaining hands-on Canadian experience, rebuilding her professional confidence, and creating a clear pathway toward future growth in guest services, hospitality, and administrative roles. "This opportunity gave me the confidence I was missing. CC+P helped me believe in my skills again." — Uma Maheswari
