The Playground Project

Jumping out of the comfort zone with Zahra Karimi, a talented and compassionate counsellor, employment counsellor and job search facilitator.


Listen Later

Thanks to Zahra Karimi for hanging out with us on the playground today! She is a private kind of person who completely jumped out of her comfort zone to support me.

Learn about her journey from Iran to Ottawa (with a couple of stops in between), and her career development journey to employment counsellor and job search workshop facilitator. 

Hear about the challenges and realities of being a newcomer to Canada when literally everything is foreign to you.

Having employment counsellors like Zahra truly make a difference to the people who choose to make Ottawa their home.

They, and all her colleagues, are very grateful for her!
