professional connections
St. Louis Mosaic Project's Professional Connector Program is an initiative based on an award-winning program in Halifax, that introduces New American job-seekers (the Connectee) to well-connected and globally-minded St. Louis professionals (the Connector) over one virtual or in-person session to receive job-seeking advice in the Connectee's respective industry.
Click Get Connected below and someone from the Mosaic team will arrange a virtual meeting to learn more about your background and make a warm introduction to a St. Louis Professional Connector.
After that initial meeting, the Professional Connector will introduce you to other Connectors for additional information sessions. Fill out the form today to jump-start your networking!
Interested in Serving as a Connector?
All it takes is a willingness to help foreign-born job seekers find their way toward meaningful work. Many newcomers arrive with no knowledge of how to translate their experience and skills to St. Louis companies. By serving as a Connector, you can help demystify the process, introduce them to others in their field and support their journey by encouraging them along their job search. Sign-up to be a Connector below.
