Background

About Sonia Mallet

Employment Specialist for the Achieve Program, where I facilitate and support the development of employability skills, provide job coaching and coordinate work experiences for Achieve students. Achieve is a 1-year transition program for youth with disabilities where students learn the skills to help them make key choices about their future, build connections with others, explore future learning and career options, increase their independence and more. Before going back to school, I was a Bilingual Language Expert with a 25-year work experience in many industries, including newspapers, marketing, health-care and mail delivery covering most aspects of communication both behind the scenes and on the front-line, from translation to editing and adapting, writing, proofreading, fact-checking, research, managing projects and people as well as liaising with clients and the public. My first career taught me how to manage multiple projects and priorities in fast-paced environments where meeting tight deadlines was a daily reality.
