Connector Program

Helping newcomers connect to the community

What is The Valley Connector Program?

The Valley Connector Program works by matching qualified individuals that are new to the area with business and community leaders. It uses informational interviewing as a means of building their professional networks.

The Valley Connector Program is not an employment program.

How do I qualify?

There are two roles within the Valley Connector Program: Connectors and Connectees.

Connectors are business and community leaders with wide ranging networks. To be a Connector, you must be willing to meet with a Connectee for 30 minutes to an hour and provide them with three contacts following your meeting.

Connectees can be migrants or immigrants, as well as soon-to-be and recent graduates. If you are new to the Annapolis Valley Region, consider yourself under- or unemployed, speak French and/or English, and have a post-secondary education, you meet the requirements of the Valley Connector Program.

How do I sign up?

If you, or someone you know, fits the criteria of either a Connector or Connectee, contact the Program Coordinator at connector@valleyren.ca to find out more!
