RRC Polytech’s Centre for Newcomer Integration (CNI) is pleased to warmly welcome Carmen Puente in her new role as Strategy Coordinator.

Carmen holds a Master’s degree in Business Administration, alongside numerous business-related certificates earned in Venezuela and several leadership micro-credentials from Red River College Polytechnic.

Her extensive knowledge of CNI operations comes from her previous roles as a Student Records Officer for IRCC-funded programs and services, and as an Administrative Assistant for Global Access English Language Foundations and its Programming for Academic Advancement.

In her new role, Carmen will leverage her wealth of experience and skills to coordinate a project aimed at enhancing the settlement and integration of newcomers to Manitoba through partnerships between CNI and other newcomer-serving organizations.

This project is generously supported by BMO Financial Group. Carmen’s first day in her new position is September 16.
