Professional connector Program
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 follow-up by introducing you 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 becoming a Professional Connector? All it takes is a willingness to help foreign-born job seekers find their way toward meaningful work. Many New Americans arrive here 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.
