Founded in 1982 and based in Toronto, Ontario, Skills for Change provides learning and training opportunities for immigrants and refugees to access and fully participate in the workplace and wider community.  Its primary focus is their clients, the immigrants and refugees who have come to our communities to create new life for themselves and their families. 

Skills for Change found a likeminded partner in CUSW, since both want to build and maintain relationships that are mutually beneficial for our clients and employers, thereby making a positive contribution to the Canadian economy.  We both also respect and value the diversity of our organizations and those we serve.  We want to invite others to participate in a spirit of cooperation and understanding.
