Testimonials

I am delighted to have enrolled in Low Entropy’s internship program as a participant upon my arrival in Canada four months ago. Transitioning from an HR professional back in my home country to a newcomer in an overseas talent pool was daunting. While pursuing my studies, I discovered the value of volunteering as a pathway to enter the Canadian workplace.
Through the program as a participant, I honed my networking skills, developed a profound understanding of Canadian work culture, and notably enhanced my communication proficiency. The comprehensive guidance and support from the program not only fortified my confidence but also equipped me with the essential tools to excel in the Canadian job market. As a direct result of the program’s immersive experience, I secured a job, serving as evidence of its transformative impact on my professional journey. – Tharushi

“Thrift and Fund by Low Entropy Foundation opened it’s doors for me and gave me a chance to grow and excel in an atmosphere full of warmth; positivity and possibility. Being a part of the internship program awarded me an opportunity to learn new skills whilst enhancing existing ones. What I loved most about the program was it’s inclusive nature and how it embraced the diversity of various individuals taking part. ”  – Mazvita Mawire
