Mentorship Program for New Canadians
Published on September 1, 1998
Skills for Change is a nonprofit organization that provides training to help immigrants and refugees participate in the workforce and the wider community. The authors describe the agency’s Mentorship Program which pairs highly-skilled, foreign-trained professionals who are currently unemployed with motivated individuals already established in their fields of work. Mentorship pairs meet on a regular basis and mentors help newcomers learn about job search techniques and prospective job opportunities. Benefits to business and the greater community are discussed.
