Problem
Newcomers, students, and early-career professionals often have the skills but not the local network or contextual knowledge needed to advance their careers. Career information is widely available online, but interpreting what applies to an individual's situation—licensing steps, local expectations, and practical next moves—typically requires guidance from someone who has already navigated the same path.
Solution
Life Dojo is a mentorship platform that connects users with reviewed mentors who match their field, language, and goals. The platform supports the full mentorship loop: mentees browse approved mentors, request a match, communicate through secure messaging, and schedule video sessions. Between sessions, users access free AI-powered career tools including resume building and review, cover-letter assistance, and mock interview practice. The platform also includes a jobs board, community events, orientation resources, and progress tracking to help mentees convert advice into concrete outcomes.
Target Audience
Primary users are newcomers, students, and early-career professionals in Alberta who need local context and same-language mentorship, along with settlement agencies, universities, cultural groups, and employers that run mentorship pilots.
