When Laila Souto Rodrigues arrived in Canada in 2017, she faced a major challenge - she didn’t speak English. With determination and support from RRC Polytech’s Centre for Newcomer Integration (CNI), she built her language skills, navigated Manitoba’s healthcare system, and completed the Communication for Health Professionals program.
🎉 On January 31, 2025, Laila reached a signif**ant milestone by receiving her Registered Nurse (RN) license in Manitoba.
Her journey is an inspiring testament to perseverance, learning, and the power of community support. Read Laila's full story on the CNI blog: https://www.rrc.ca/cni/2025/03/05/lailas-journey-from-dreams-to-reality/
