Our-Programs

At the first connection meeting, Connectors are asked to refer the participant to a minimum of three people in their network, and then each of these people will be 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 newcomer professionals and international students meet with business leaders in Greater Halifax, they gain a better understanding of the local job market and are exposed to business opportunities. 

When the right opportunity exists, everyone benefits.
