“When I came to Canada, I was focused on finding a role with a major bank as a fraud management or anti-money laundering expert. The challenge, for me, was my lack of Canadian work experience and not having a professional network. The Leadership Connections program taught me how to network effectively and prepare for interviews. Through ACCES, I was introduced to several business leaders and developed connections with RBC. I confidently and successfully managed the networking opportunities and interviews because of the knowledge I gained from the program.”
