Mustafa Alio, Bassel Ramli and Omar Salaymeh started Jumpstart Refugee Talent, a refugee-led non-profit organization that connects refugees in the Greater Toronto Area with meaningful employment and entrepreneurial opportunities. By establishing early, culturally competent relationships with refugees, and by serving as a liaison with potential employers and investors, the group has grown to support many newcomers across Canada as they become contributing citizens and rebuild their lives.
