+# Gig Connect
+**Tier:** 2 – Intermediate

+**Gig Connect** is a platform that allows users to find short-duration, small-scale work opportunities (“gigs”) within their local area — such as **plant-watering, grocery pickup, local tutoring, household fixes, dog-walking, item shifting**, and more.
+
