The St. Louis Mosaic Project has identified 25 “connectors” who will help immigrants launch their local careers. The St. Louis Professional Connector Program will connect skilled immigrants to well-known local individuals for informal career networking referrals. The initiative is based on an award-winning program, called the Greater Halifax Partnership Connector Program, which has grown from 50 to more than 500 connectors in three years, with hundreds of immigrants getting jobs. The St. Louis Mosaic Project is working to recruit 75 immigrants to benefit from this program. Foreign-born residents, who are college-educated with long-term work authorization in St. Louis, can sign up at www.stlmosaicproject.org.Â
