Bridging programs are designed to fill the unique gaps most immigrant professionals have while respecting and acknowledging the existing professional knowledge and experience.
These programs are shorter, more intensive, and much cheaper than other alternatives, because the government subsidizes them, and they are not made to make a profit from participants.
On the other hand, academic programs are customized to local students. Purely academic programs are intended to construct a new shelf at the top of your library, not to fill empty places on current shelves. MNLCT‘s bridge training programs acknowledge that students already have professional expertise and that what they need is a program to assist them fill the gaps, not one to teach them what they already know.
