PhoenixQuest

 

27 students from Miami Dade College in Florida and Duhok Polytechnic University in Iraq, created PhoenixQuest, an app to support refugees looking for employment and offering a variety of professional and vocational resources. Involving job offers and other opportunities like donations, PhoenixQuest aims to build a firm base for refugees to succeed.

​

Team PhoenixQuest won 1st place at the prestigious Global Solutions Sustainability Challenge, an initiative that connects college students in the U.S., Jordan and Iraq to virtually collaborate on a sustainable solution to local challenges related to the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals. The eight-week challenge was implemented by IREX, a global development and education nonprofit.
