Linkedout
Professional social network that allows people to give visibility & network to those who don’t have
There’s a myth out there about homeless people being lazy and that they don’t want to work. But to allow homeless people to actually get a job, first, you have to make employers and the general public change their perception of the homeless. Aside from needing food, shelter ..., the people without home are looking for consideration and friendship, things that allow them to regain their self-esteem and confidence.French non-profit organization ENTOURAGE in partnership with LinkedIn have developed the LinkedOut Project. This new digital platform lets homeless people list their profiles in search of a job that will help them get out of their poor situation. The platform encourages people to share on their Linkedin the resumes of the homeless. So you share your professional network with those who don't have one in order to increase their chances to start again.
