Husam AL– Bdalrl - He came to Canada in 2016 as a Refugee. In order to connect with the outside community he got a great support from 7 Oaks Immigrant Services and partner ship with Canadian Council on Rehabilitation and Work (CCRW) . We helped him in building up a resume, getting a volunteer experience and applying for jobs online. After all, the hard work that he did he finally go a job at Value Village. This is a great success story as this wouldn’t have been possible without the Seven Oaks team and Husam’s determination for getting a job.
