The document discusses a program that prepared newcomers to Canada for jobs in the food processing industry. The program manager chose to use training materials from FPHRC (Food Processing Human Resources Council) as it was the best option for trainees' success. Trainees included people with a variety of backgrounds from different countries. Through the FPHRC training, participants earned nationally-recognized certificates and many obtained jobs soon after completing the program. Both trainees and employers provided positive feedback about the training. The training can result in meaningful employment and industry connections for committed individuals seeking opportunities in Canada.
