In January 2025, Expertise Hub Cooperative and Collective Interchange Cooperative proudly partnered with the PARO Centre for Women’s Enterprise to support the delivery of the Community Innovation Table (CIT) Project. The CIT Project brings together immigrant professionals, service providers, and community leaders to co- create solutions to the challenges facing women entrepreneurs. Through structured dialogue and participatory research, CIT ensures that the voices of women entrepreneurs remain at the centre of policy and program design. The project builds a bridge between lived experience and decision - making, strengthening collaboration and fostering equity - focused approaches to inclusion.

Expertise Hub is also proud to promote the PARO Circle Project in Newfoundland and Labrador. The Circle Project empowers women entrepreneurs by creating strong, supportive peer networks known as Circles. Each Circle functions as a trusted community where women share resources, mentorship, and practical strategies to grow their businesses. By linking local Circles with a wider national network, the project helps women access capital, training, and markets while reducing the isolation often experienced in rural and underrepresented regions. This model enables women to thrive as entrepreneurs and leaders, creating ripple effects of empowerment within their communities.

We’re excited to announce our latest initiative: a groundbreaking collaboration between Expertise Hub Cooperative (EHC) and International Education Newfoundland and Labrador (IENL). This project is designed to empower international students and alumni of Memorial University by bridging the gap between academic achievement and professional success. Through tailored mentoring, practical skills training, and personalized roadmaps grounded in equity and inclusion principles, participants will gain the tools needed to excel in Newfoundland and Labrador’s labor market. This initiative reflects our shared vision of fostering innovation, professional growth, and meaningful connections within our diverse community. Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this transformative journey together!

Located in St. John’s, NL, the co-housing initiative seeks to empower residents by offering affordable and accessible housing solutions that cater to diverse needs. Through knowledge-sharing, direct support, and leveraging the collective expertise and resources within the community, the Expertise Hub project management team helps Reclaim Community Collaborative Design Organization (CDO) to develop a housing project that is not only cost-effective but also ensures that it is both impactful and replicable.

As of August 2024, Expertise Hub is involved in a project to complete an update on the Women’s Economic Council’s website. This project includes updating the website, as well as other changes to the overall look and format of the site. (same content we have on Inclusive Horizons)

We recently completed a comprehensive website redesign for InclusiveHorizons, transforming their online presence into a modern, user-friendly platform. This project focused on creating an intuitive layout and responsive design that caters to both desktop and mobile users. The new site enhances navigation, showcases services clearly, and provides a platform for updates and customer engagement. This project highlights our dedication to delivering custom web solutions that meet our clients’ unique needs and elevate their brand online.

We’re thrilled to unveil one of our key initiatives: the launch of our dynamic new website! This platform was thoughtfully designed to connect professionals with essential resources, featuring a user-friendly interface that adapts seamlessly across devices. The website showcases a curated collection of articles, courses, and expert insights, all enhanced by intuitive navigation and robust search functionality. With clear calls to action and a focus on accessibility, this project exemplifies our commitment to creating impactful digital spaces that promote learning, professional growth, and meaningful engagement.

BridgeTo is a platform developed by Expertise Hub Cooperative, a member-owned social enterprise led by newcomers, for newcomers. Our work is grounded in addressing systemic barriers faced by internationally trained professionals, particularly in foreign credential recognition (FCR) and access to meaningful employment. We developed the BridgeTo platform with support from ACOA and the provincial Department of Jobs, Growth and Rural Development to simplify complex FCR processes. By transforming fragmented information into clear, structured journeys (roadmaps), the platform helps individuals navigate each step with confidence, while also generating insights that can inform and improve the system over time.
