Yesterday, had the pleasure of hosting "Networking in NL", led by the wonderful Lynn Morrissey. The session focused on building meaningful ways to start conversations, how to follow up, and turn everyday interactions into lasting professional relationships, all with a local lens that is especially useful for newcomers to the province. 🌱

At Amal Unite & Empower, we believe newcomer integration is not only a matter of helping our participants get any job, but instead, guide them in their way towards meaningful employment.
That is where sessions like this one come in, as our attendees left the room with a changed idea of what networking really is, and how a simple conversation can have a big impact not only in the professional area, but also on the personal and emotional aspect to those in our community.

"This is the best networking session I have ever attended" One participant shared with us.

Amal Unite & Empower would like to thank Lynn once again for her wonderful masterclass, as it is through events like this one that our newcomers truly feel welcomed and supported.
