KONNECT: The app that's facilitating employment opportunities for newcomers to the workforce.

The project offers a remedy for newcomers in Canada who encounter challenges in securing employment in their chosen domains. It does so by creating a community-driven network that aims to link them with established immigrants. This connection serves to provide guidance and assistance, ultimately facilitating a smoother journey for newcomers. Additionally, valuable resources pertaining to job hunting are made available to aid in their employment search.

Overview:

When I moved to Canada in July 2016 I started applying for Graphic Designer jobs, but unfortunately, I never got a reply from any of the employers. My certifications were not recognized here nor did I have Canadian experience.

I know how hard it is for newcomers to settle here and start their careers in their own fields. So, I decided to do something about it and how this challenge can be managed properly and easily.

Problem:

The newcomers in Canada face different challenges and have a hard time settling here especially finding jobs in their desired fields.

Solution:

  • To develop a platform which will help the newcomers to settle here by connecting them with the settled immigrants who have been living here for some time and who know the challenges they face when they arrive in Canada. Now they have experience and they know the ways of living here. They can help and guide the new immigrants in the right direction.
  • Provide them with enough resources which can help the newcomers to settle here and to get a job.
  • Collaborate with non-profit organizations, that help newcomers to settle here and to find employment.
