National Mentoring Initiative

The National Mentoring Initiative supports urban centres in Canada to develop, implement and enhance mentoring programs for skilled immigrants in their communities. It will establish mentoring as a successful labour market strategy across Canada.

What the National Mentoring Initiative offers to communities

The National Mentoring Initiative supports communities to launch their own successful program through:

• Mentoring toolkit: This online toolkit highlights practices which will lead to a successful mentoring program and to generate discussion about how best to proceed. It is a description of the “nuts and bolts” of a successful model and includes good practices, indentifies discussion points, and provides ideas how to implement a program.
• Coaching: Technical assistance through coaches who have been involved in the development and delivery of successful mentoring programs in other communities.
• Networking: Opportunities to network with other mentoring service providers across Canada to share and learn from one another.
