As a Better Jobs Ontario student, I found the help that I received at Lutherwood to be invaluable. My employment counsellor helped me navigate through the application process in a friendly, supportive, kind and helpful manner. I just graduated from a diploma program and have been offered a job in my industry thanks to Lutherwood's help. Thank you!
