Next Steps is a free program for women in business looking to succeed in occupations such as sales, bookkeeping, project management, or administrative roles, who face multiple barriers to joining the job market.
Thank you for your interest in the Next Steps Program. We are deeply grateful for the overwhelming response we received—more than 800 inquiries—showing your trust in MOSAIC and truly warming our hearts. As we have now fulfilled our program goals, we are no longer accepting new applications. A formal closure announcement will be shared in March 2026, and program contact information will close at that time.
While the program is ending, MOSAIC remains committed to supporting newcomers. We encourage you to visit your local WorkBC Centre for employment services, workshops, and training opportunities.
