SOLVIT Canada helps eligible emerging technology professionals move from knowledge to evidence. Participants contribute to appropriate real client work under supervision, build Skills Passport milestones, receive feedback and references, and strengthen their pathway toward employment or contracting.
Our honest promise: SOLVIT is not promising a job. We create stronger evidence of ability, professional references and a more credible transition into the labour market.
Who this pathway serves
All three share the same gap: they've learned the work, but Canadian employers haven't seen them do it yet.
Tired of being asked for experience you haven't been allowed to get yet.
Real project experience, mentorship, Skills Passport milestones, references and a pathway toward employment.
We give you: Real paid work, a supervisor who knows the craft, and references you actually earned.
You can do the work. You just haven't shipped it for a Canadian client yet.
A supervised bridge from credential to first Canadian reference, measured in shipped work, not simulated assignments.
We give you: Shipped work with your name on it: the missing Canadian line on your résumé.
You brought years of expertise. No one here has seen you work yet.
Canadian work experience on real client deliverables for participants who already have the legal right to work.
We give you: Real projects, real supervisors and real references, for participants who already have the legal right to work in Canada.
