Match
The Connector Program matches newcomers to Halifax and young and emerging talent with local employers, civil servants and community leaders based on
industry experience, professional backgrounds, or the participant's
interest in a specific organization.
Once the connection has
been made, an introduction email is sent to the Connector and the
Participant to set up a meeting.
Connect
The Connector and the Participant meet to discuss things like industry backgrounds, skills and
areas of expertise, industry related news, current market demands, and
hiddden job opportunities in Halifax.
Refer
Connectors are asked to refer the Participant to a
minimum of three people in their network, and then each of these people
are asked to refer the Participant to three more. These referrals may be potential
employers, influential leaders within their industry or other people who
will benefit from meeting with a skilled professional.
As Participants meet with business
and community leaders in Halifax, they gain a better understanding of the
local job market, learn about the community, and are exposed to business and career opportunities.
This simple, yet highly effective process, significantly increases the individual’s chances of finding
employment in his or her field.
