The strength of working with your own hands
Over 11 million immigrants live in the United States — and millions work informally, without protection or proper recognition. SkillBridge was created to change that reality.
If you’ve recently arrived in the U.S. legally, you know the journey hasn’t been easy. Many left everything behind in search of a better life. And for those working in manual labor — like painting, carpentry, cleaning, remodeling, landscaping, or maintenance — finding good job opportunities can be a real challenge.
That’s where SkillBridge comes in: a platform designed to connect skilled workers with people and businesses who need exactly what you do — with trust, transparency, respect, and the best part: in your own language. More than just an app, SkillBridge is a bridge between your talent and the opportunities you deserve.
Job opportunities for legally documented immigrants in the U.S.
Right now, the U.S. job market is experiencing a high demand for essential workers. Services like construction, property maintenance, professional cleaning, and home remodeling are increasingly valued — especially in states like Florida, Texas, California, and New York.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of job openings for manual labor continues to grow due to factors such as:
- Real estate expansion across multiple regions
- High turnover in maintenance jobs
- An aging population requiring in-home services
- Growth in outsourcing of residential and commercial services
In other words, if you’re legally in the U.S. and want to work in hands-on services, opportunities are out there — the challenge is standing out, staying protected, and ensuring your work is valued. That’s exactly what SkillBridge helps you achieve.
What is SkillBridge and how does it work?
SkillBridge is an app designed to give visibility and autonomy to essential service workers. The platform connects professionals like painters, cleaners, electricians, handymen, project specialists, and plumbers with clients looking for reliable labor — fast, safe, and with full transparency.
Here’s how it works:
- You create a profile with your name, location, specialty, and availability.
- Add photos of your work, client reviews, and even videos if you like.
- Clients find you through the app, request services, and communicate directly with you — no middlemen. You can speak in Portuguese, English, Spanish, or any language thanks to built-in real-time translation.
- Payments are processed securely through Stripe, ensuring you’re paid correctly.
Everything is simple, practical, and built for people who don’t want to waste time.
Why is SkillBridge different?
SkillBridge isn’t just another gig app. It was designed with a focus on social impact, empathy, and respect for workers who’ve crossed borders and built their lives through hard work. Key differentiators include:
- Language accessibility: available in Portuguese, Spanish, and English, with real-time translation
- Secure and trackable payments via Stripe
- Verified client reviews that can boost your reputation
- Simple and functional design for easy navigation
- Human-centered customer support, always ready to assist you
SkillBridge understands that manual workers often don’t have time or resources to create a website, run ads, or deal with difficult clients. That’s why the platform offers a complete solution to help you win clients — safely and confidently.
Who can use SkillBridge?
SkillBridge is designed especially for:
- Workers in the U.S. with legal visas or documentation
- Freelancers or small independent service providers
- Professionals offering painting, cleaning, landscaping, maintenance, construction, etc.
- Anyone looking to grow, gain new clients, and work with peace of mind
The platform also serves small business owners and clients who want to hire trustworthy professionals quickly and easily.donos de pequenas empresas e clientes que querem contratar profissionais de forma confiável e rápida.
Why is SkillBridge safe for workers?
One of the biggest concerns for service providers in the U.S. is not getting paid or dealing with unreliable clients. With SkillBridge:
- Clients pay through the platform, and funds are held until the service is complete
- Once the service is confirmed, payment is released to the worker
- This protects both sides, helps resolve disputes, and prevents financial losses
In addition, the review system builds a trust network with real feedback and transparency.
Why is SkillBridge safe for clients?
SkillBridge is also designed to provide security, visibility, and control to clients from the moment of hiring to completion.
Hiring someone online can be stressful, especially without references or guarantees. That’s why SkillBridge includes features like:
- Real-time geolocation: track the service provider’s location so you know when they’re on the way or have arrived
- Client reviews and ratings: each provider has a public profile with honest reviews and average ratings
- Secure payment through Stripe: funds are held until the service is completed, ensuring quality before payment
- Validated provider registration: workers must verify their identity and submit valid documents, reducing the risk of scams or fake profiles
With all this, SkillBridge is more than a gig platform — it’s a trust network. Clients have more control, more visibility, and more peace of mind.
