Wilfrix provides group and individual workforce readiness coaching to students learning English at ENB’s community ESOL programs. He helps students prepare for the job market and small business opportunities. Wilfrix supports students as they learn to use technology as part of their job search, learn about U.S. work culture, and connect with employers who will treat them with respect. In Haiti, Wilfrix was a youth teacher, journalist, and a pastor. While a student at Gilbert Albert Community Center, one of ENB’s ESOL sites, he became a student leader advocating for more English classes, and also served on ENB’s Board of Directors for three years. He worked as a cook while attending Urban College where he earned an Associate’s degree in Human Services Administration. Wilfrix speaks Haitian Creole, French, English, and has working knowledge in Spanish.
For Wilfrix, working as an ESOL Career Coach is an opportunity to give back by helping those struggling to have a better life as an immigrant, as he has done himself. He believes ENB gives immigrants “The Key,” and is happy to help extend that key – English classes. Wilfrix knows that by helping others, he helps himself, and contributes to a better community.
