CARE Centre wins Community Partner Award

CARE Centre for Internationally Educated Nurses was honoured to receive the Community Partner Award at the annual Achēvment Awards.

Achēv celebrated its fourth annual Achēvment Awards at a breakfast event in Mississauga, also marking the organization’s 35th anniversary.

For 17 years, the CARE Centre has helped Achēv clients through Ontario’s licensing process, providing exam preparation, credential recognition, sector-specific language training and mentorship. The partnership now extends across Achēv’s network and into its EPIC Health Careers program.

Achēv is a leading non-profit provider of employment, language and newcomer settlement services, putting clients on a faster path to prosperity by connecting them with the services they need to build careers in Canada. The Achēvment Awards celebrate the determination of Achēv clients and the power of partnership to create meaningful change.

“It means so much to all of us at CARE Centre to receive this recognition from our cornerstone partner, Achēv. Achev is celebrating 35 years of serving newcomer communities, as CARE Centre observes our 25th anniversary of supporting internationally educated nurses in re-establishing their nursing careers in Canada. Together, we are able to assist IENs and their families in securing their successful futures, providing customized programming that meets their needs and gives wings to their goals.

— Rola El Moubadder, Executive Director, CARE Centre for Internationally Educated Nurses

“Canada’s economic strength depends on putting everyone’s skills to work,” said Achēv CEO Tonie Chaltas. “Each recipient represents what is possible when people are given the opportunity to succeed and when organizations come together around a shared commitment to economic inclusion and community prosperity.”
