In an effort to strengthen the support of our Scholarship Program alumni, TFFT has launched a new Alumni Enrichment Program (AEP). This is a competitive, application-based initiative designed to support the continued growth of TFFT’s alumni through meaningful training opportunities within the organization, targeted skill development, and job readiness support.

The program aims to bridge the gap between education and the workforce by equipping alumni with the tools, experiences, and networks needed to thrive in their professional journeys. In order to be eligible for this program, the applicant must be a TFFT alumni, must be actively seeking employment, an internship, or further training opportunities, and they must be able to commit time and effort to the program duration.

Each AEP participant will be assigned mentors within the TFFT community to guide them through their program and we expect to see several positive outcomes including increased confidence and competence in the workplace, enhanced employability and professional networks, and greater engagement with the organization and contribution to TFFT’s mission.

We currently have two alumnae participating in the program, Sarah Solomon and Glory Faustine. Sarah recently graduated with a B.A. in Computer Science and is teaching basic computer courses in our new Computer Lab and Glory recently graduated with a B.A. in Library and Information Studies and is working in the new Lenore Madden Library at TFFT’s Learning Centre.

Glory and Sarah are doing very well in their respective roles, and we couldn’t be happier seeing how our alumni have matured and become responsible young ladies. We are excited to offer this opportunity to our alumni and are looking forward to watching them flourish, learning new skills, and gaining confidence as they head into the world beyond the classroom.
