About Us
Throughout our career journey, we face different paths of changing jobs, switching career paths or even changing the mode of employment due to various kinds of reasons. While making an important decision or a change, it’s easy to feel stress, loss, or frustration.
In Newgig, we believe moving to the next step takes the course of looking into personal motivation, value, belief and life stages, with a combination of external environments. Such a complicated process is never easy to work alone. We hope by providing a variety of quality information for people to understand themselves and understand the world better to make an informed and educated decision, which leads to a more fulfilling life.
On top of that, with the recent pandemic, the economy is moving drastically, and digitalization has come much earlier. We hope to help transform our workforce to be ready for the future of work by providing information on upskilling.
