Potential is everywhere.
Opportunity isn't.
Ubuntu provides the tools for people to recognize their strengths, build meaningful relationships and proactively find career opportunities, while helping employers find, develop and retain talent.
When people reach their potential, businesses become stronger. Ubuntu works with students, newcomers and employers to transform underutilized potential into career and business success.
Talented people and meaningful job opportunities don’t always find each other. These statistics highlight the gap, and the opportunity to do better.
32.6%
of recent immigrants with postsecondary education reported being overqualified for their jobs.
30.3%
of recent immigrants with bachelor’s degrees reported being overqualified, compared with 20.2% of Canadian-born workers with bachelor’s degrees.
25.8%
of immigrants with foreign degrees were overqualified for their jobs, more than twice the rate among immigrants educated in Canada.
The challenge isn’t simply creating more talent. It’s doing a better job connecting talent with opportunity.
