Livelihood Project: Community Space and Canadian Markets

livelihood project: While supports for refugees and immigrants are already available, Samimi says his effort is different, according to CBC. With the recent influx of refugees and newcomers to Canada, many organizations have stepped up to help these people, he told CBC Radio's Metro Morning. To solve that, problem Arash Samimi co-founded The Livelihood Project a community space, an agency and a mobile app all designed to help newcomers find employment and build careers. However, the problem that remains is the question of how are these people going to have long-term careers and get integrated into Canadian markets. We're helping these people develop those skills that are adaptable to the changes in the economy. Samimi says The Livelihood Project goes further because beyond just finding refugees a job, it helps them develop the skills necessary to have a long-term career. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
