The PEI Connectors program provided wings that helped my company get off the ground. PEI Connectors meant networking was much easier: They organized lots of events, lectures, and meetings – I asked if I could meet specialists in the construction business, and they made it happen. I want to thank them for all their help.

The Connectors program had mixers and trips to successful businesses on the island. I did a lot of networking there and put my resume out to the positions I found. This led to my first role on the Island.

They’ve all [PEI Connectors team] been very, very helpful. They organized meetings so newcomers working on business plans could connect with members of different business sectors about opportunities and learn from their experiences. We learned everything we needed to know.

My Program Officer encouraged me to try and try and try, and coached me through job applications and interviews. Now, I got my right position. I am really happy!

The program officers were very, very helpful; they told us who to contact and arranged seminars to help us learn about how to start and buy a business.

International Students should take advantage of services like PEI Connectors. Not only do they help students gain experience, they help them get more familiar with the Canadian working culture and help them settle more than before.
