The Partnership’s Connector Program is a simple yet
effective networking program that helps newcomers and young and emerging talent
build a professional network, connect with career opportunities, and settle
successfully in our community.
It puts pre-qualified job seekers directly in touch with
business people, civil servants, and community leaders - people like you - who volunteer as
Connectors.

Who are Connectors?
Connectors are people in our community who know large numbers of people and are in the habit of making introductions. Connectors know people through social, cultural, professional, and economic circles, and have a special gift of bringing people together who work or live in different circles.
Connector’s role
- Meet with a participant
- Listen, ask questions, and share knowledge of current market demands and the skills required in your field
- After the meeting, you must provide the participant with three other relevant contacts in their industry. Each of the contacts will be asked for three more.
- Be honest; provide feedback to the newcomer through the Connector Program Project Coordinator
- It’s up to the participants to follow-up with Connectors and begin to develop their business network
