Edmonton Mennonite Centre for Newcomers (EMCN)

The immigrant clients of EMCN are compelling as they are striving to improve their new lives in Canada. You will be filled with a sense of purpose in developing programming or managing your portfolio of projects. 
BUT be warned that the operations and executive management will not support you in your job.  The operations team is inexperienced in program management and the programs have experienced such high growth that there is not time or support for new initiatives.
Do not expect to have any coaching or instructive feedback. Most managers do not last in this organization and are spit out instead of honored for their contributions. 
The only jobs that are safe are the ESL teacher , settlement worker, daycare worker , social worker and employment counsellor type jobs that are clearly defined. 
All coordinator and management jobs are open to subjective evaluation and hr policies are not observed for these positions. At any time they will let you go based on assumptions. 40% of management positions are given their walking papers over the last 6 years

Greeting each student by name, teaching the class to communicate using complete sentences and encouraging them to speak in English. I learned about a few customs of other nationalities. The management has given me a free hand to use my methods as well as supplying me with their material. The other teachers are very friendly. I did not find anything hard to do as the students are motivated and learn fast. I am very happy with their progress in communicating in English.

Very positive job place!
My experience during the intensive Administrative Professional Practicum Program from March to April 2018 was very positive.  I had fun, but we also worked very hard to achieve my goals. I loved every moment of this professional experience by EMCN, and their team was always supportive, helpful, energetic, and knowledgeable.
I was so happy to have my professional practicum  at the Edmonton Mennonite Centre for Newcomers as a bilingual front desk clerk.

I was amazed with the trust that management have for their employees. I cannot say any bad words about my team or management. Like in any other organization, there are some people who just come to work for a paycheck but averall it is a team of hard-working people who are trying their best to make a life of immigrants better.

Great work day not much work. I learned how to crate a professional resume, and do effective job search with clients. The management was friendly and easy to get along with, the hardest part of the job is answering the 6 line telephone system, the most enjoyable part of the job is working with clients from different cultures.

Though I am only a volunteer, I have seen how the organization works and it is a great place to work and volunteer.
I have learned how to help many people in many different ways. I've had the opportunity to work for a very good coordinator who teaches me new things about the organization to understand better what I do as a volunteer.

Lack of diversity in the management and the board means that the central ethos is to follow lead mennonite staff members.
Managers in the esl department are burnt out and so many issues are ignored or scapegoated on others

Pay is great for esl teachers though

Excellent working environment. Informative orientation provided. As a volunteer, I feel valued and appreciated in the company. EMCN is a great government agency to work with. Information on the settlement, employment, education and other newcomers benefits are discussed.

Excellent workplace with many caring and professional individuals, a place where one makes a difference in the lives of new Canadians by enabling with tangible skills used in the workplace in Canada.

Will be more than happy to be working here. Will work hard and be responsible. Work as a team for the company’s better. This hotel fall under top hotel in Edmonton which is one thing to be proud of.
