Our story
At Jiseki, we transform the challenges of immigration into opportunities for growth and contribution. By connecting immigrants with meaningful work, essential services, and supportive communities, we help every newcomer flourish.
As immigrants who have navigated the complexities of assimilation and securing meaningful work and services, we created Jiseki. Our platform uses our experiences, supportive networks, and scalable technology to empower all immigrants to thrive.
