Learn More about the WESP Advantage:

“I am extremely thankful for this program. The WESP program was one of the best decisions I could have made to better prepare me for new employment. Having mock interviews is one of the best things offered by the WESP program, as I am now more confident when going to an interview, and when interviewing the employer. I highly recommend the WESP program; it has enhanced my confidence and better equipped me for the competitive labour market.

As of August 2011, I have secured employment.

Thank you WESP!”
