CRTP helps IEPs gain successful employment in Canada.

The Corporate Readiness Program (CRTP) is a full-time program for internationally educated professionals (IEPs) who are looking to start their career in Canada. It provides learners with the skills they need to find a job and the business communication skills they need to excel.  

Entering the Canadian professional workforce can seem very difficult to many immigrants. Jobs are available to utilize your professional skills learned outside of Canada. If you already have English language training, we can give you the extra tools you need to find jobs in Calgary that make the most of your qualifications and experience.

For course offerings, funding, and eligibility requirements, please visit the CRTP website at: crtp.bowvalleycollege.ca or call 403-410-3466
