If you take this course seriously you can't walk out of it unsuccessfully. You either walk out of here with your needed tickets for whatever job field you want to get into, or a second family, people you remember for the rest of your life! Most important thing to me was that I can finally work away now like I've been determined to do, and of course the friends I made.”

Testimonial
Where I was before the program?
I was lost and without direction. This program provided me structure and a chance at a better future.
Where I am now?
I am in a much better place. I wake up early each and every morning ready to take on every challenge. I’ve been able to achieve/obtain all of my Safety Tickets. Everything Koda-Cree has given me has made me more desirable as an employee for future employment.
Where I see myself after the program?
I see myself working at a high paying job traveling wherever the work is. Going on adventures. I see a life outside of Maskwacis.
Thank you Koda-Cree and Massey for changing my life.
