ACCOMMODATION HOMESTAY The Georgian College International Homestay program provides exciting opportunities. Students can experience a Canadian lifestyle and establish relationships within the community. Our Homestay program provides safe, caring and interactive hosts with whom international students can improve their language skills and cultural awareness. Homestay hosts provide necessary household items, including a furnished bedroom for the student. Most homes are located close to public transport or within walking distance of the campus. As an IT student in my home country of India, my goal was to improve my skills and start a career in the IT field. During my time at Georgian I completed my internship as a technical support person where I excelled in providing exemplary customer service, troubleshooting network devices, team-working skills that allowed me to be able to work with different teams at Transcom Worldwide. I ended up graduating from the program with honours in 2015. Georgian College has given me the benchmark to improve the skills I need for future employment and being involved at the college has made me feel empowered and confident.
