Mentorship provides individuals with valuable career advice, helping to build their professional network, and to learn how to be more effective in finding jobs. The program is delivered in English by two Program Facilitators and over 135 volunteers. Volunteers are screened, trained and support in their role by Program Facilitators.

Workplace Connections Mentorship can include:

• 3 months of one-on-one mentorship, once per week for approximately two hours.
• Information Mentorship sessions with Career Mentors or Peer Mentors.
• Working Circles Group Mentorship, facilitated by a Career Mentor, which focuses on a single profession and discussions related to that profession.
• Working Sessions Group Mentorship, for mentors and mentees from all professions. Working Sessions feature small group discussions and activities on topics important to finding and keeping a job in Canada. A great way to meet more professionals.
