Achēv is a nonprofit organization that supports newcomers and diverse communities across Canada. As one of the largest providers of services like employment help, language training, and community support, Achēv is focused on helping people build better futures, faster. This project aimed to create a digital platform that makes it easy for users to find and access the services they need, from job programs to local events and workshops.
The Core Idea

Finding the right support services can be tiring and confusing, especially for newcomers who may not know what programs or events are available or how to get started. Achēv saw the need for a digital platform that brings all their services and resources together in one place to make it easy for users to find what they need in a clear and user-friendly way.
Our Approach

We made sure the system runs smoothly, is accessible to all users, and is built to grow, supporting features like personalized content, regular updates, and future expansion.
