Algonquin College Experienced Worker Centre success stories

1 min read

The Experienced Worker Centre (EWC) at Algonquin College in Ottawa helps adults who have been laid off or are underemployed get access to the training and support they need to transition to new careers. To spread the word about the important mission of the EWC and give prospective clients an idea of what’s possible, the College turned to Ascribe to write a series of success stories.

How Ascribe helped

Starting over is hard. Whether someone has been laid off or is looking to change industries to access greater opportunities, transitioning to a new career often involves retraining — something that can be difficult to balance with the responsibilities of adulthood. The EWC helps adults access the academic, financial and navigational supports they need to succeed.

Over the course of a working relationship spanning more than a decade, we supported Algonquin College with strategic plans, annual reports, course materials, speeches and more. Knowing it could rely on Ascribe to deliver high-quality content on time and on budget, the college asked us to write a series of six Q&A-style profiles, approximately 400 words each, promoting the services provided by the EWC and highlighting the accomplishments of some of its clients. For each profile, we conducted an interview with a current or former client to learn about them: what brought them to the EWC, what their experience was like and the career opportunities they were able to access as a result of the support they received. These interviews also enabled us to capture each client’s voice so we could present them authentically and tell their story in their own words.

Published on Algonquin College’s EWC website, these success stories offer a look at the options that are available for adult students looking to make a change — and underscore the message that anything is possible when you have the right support.
