Evaluation of Settlement Workers in School (SWIS)

Newcomers Employment and Education Development Services (N.E.E.D.S.) Inc. is a non-profit, charitable organization. The agency was established in 1999 by immigrant and refugee women for newcomers to Canada. The organization enhances the integration of newcomers into Canadian society by providing employment, mentorship, education, and social recreational programs as a means to support clients in the development of life skills, confidence, and positive social support networks. Settlement Workers in School (SWIS) is an holistic program at N.E.E.D.S. Inc., which includes a range of activities to promote successful settlement and integration of newcomer children and youth in the Winnipeg community. The internship project will enable N.E.E.D.S to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the Settlement Workers in School (SWIS) to measure its effectiveness in achieving its proposed outcomes, identify gaps, and recommendations for improving the design, delivery and effectiveness of the program.
