We're excited to announce our new partnership with Kamloops Immigrant Services (KIS)!

At PeaceGeeks, we believe the most powerful support for newcomers comes from combining innovative tools like our Virtual Career Coach with the deep, community-based expertise that organizations like KIS provide every day.

Their team shares our vision for creating accessible, effective pathways to employment. Here’s what France Lamontagne, Executive Director at KIS, had to say about our collaboration:

“We’re truly excited about our partnership with PeaceGeeks and the potential of the Virtual Career Coach to support the newcomers we serve.
At KIS, we believe employment is more than just a job; it’s a pathway to belonging, dignity, and long-term success. Every day, our team works passionately to ensure that newcomers have the tools, guidance, and confidence to pursue meaningful and sustainable careers in their new home.
Bringing the Virtual Career Coach into our programming felt like a natural next step. We're constantly seeking innovative, accessible tools to strengthen the newcomer journey, and this platform offers just that. We’re especially excited about its multilingual capabilities, user-friendly interface, and personalized guidance that can meet clients where they’re at.
Although we’re just beginning to roll it out, the alignment between the platform and our approach to employment support is already clear. We’re looking forward to seeing how our clients engage with it and to sharing insights and stories as we go.
Thank you again for partnering with us and for amplifying the work of frontline organizations like KIS. We’re proud to be part of this movement, and we can’t wait to see what unfolds.”
- France Lamontagne, Executive Director at KIS
