Build the skills and confidence to transition into new career opportunities through our She-Covery services.

Ongoing registration until March 31, 2023. Join now!

She-Covery services are designed to support you in the journey of finding your ideal job.

Through our She-Covery services, you can:

  • Enhance your chances of getting an invite for an interview
  • Tailor your resume and cover letter
  • Increase your chances of answering interview questions with confidence through a mock interview

Coming to a new country and navigating your employment route can be confusing and challenging. We are able to provide you with the assistance you need to eliminate or reduce this unnecessary pressure.

Knowing the barriers or the reason for not hearing back from an employer is a crucial part of the employment process. You will learn how to improve your job searching skills by:

  • Receiving direction and guidance toward your employment goals
  • Learning how to enhance your chances of a personal interview invitation
  • Getting essential skills training
  • Discovering whether you want to change careers or study further
  • Having access to Learning Management System (LMS) courses, especially if you have an employment gap in your resume
  • Receiving mental health support during your employment journey

This service provides you with a safe space to be yourself and receive encouragement and motivation, along with direction and guidance to achieve your employment goals.

The best part is that you don’t even have to leave your house to access the She-Covery services! You can access the one-on-one services online in the comfort of your own home. We can build a career and employment plan together, which will provide you with a mapped-out direction on how to achieve your employment and career goals.

Mental Health Support

Bhavna is a mental health counselor from India with work experience of 12 years. She shares how our She-Covery services helped her:

“Any transition is not without its challenges and especially when one is navigating a journey in a different country!

Having said that, support from programs like She-Covery and a counselor who literally put their heart in what they do and support individuals like myself, has meant that I have an anchor, which will facilitate my journey with less hindrance and roadblock.”

"In this lengthy immigration process, what one must do is identify what he/she truly desires and begin working on it gradually; here is where the assistance of MNLC comes in helpful. Of course, one must be consistent; one cannot quit since God’s time is perfect.”
