Get Connected!
Reach out to abdifatahm@kinbridge.ca for support
We work with both newcomer job-seekers and local employers to reduce barriers to employment.
We offer newcomers resume and interview coaching, information and orientation, interpretation services, and referrals to employers, with both individual services and group programs.
We work closely with local businesses to provide relevant training to support an inclusive and innovative work environment for newcomers. We provide support for job seekers, by facilitating networking events/job fairs, provide accessible workshops, and referring clients to resources.
Cambridge residents with any immigration status except citizens are eligible for employment support. Please note we do not directly provide employment, we assist in your search.
If you are a job seeker and new to the Canadian job market a group of experts have developed a playbook filled with resources and insights to make your job search effective.
