Mentorship Programmes

“Mentoring” is the pairing of an experienced or skilled person (mentor) with a person who would like to improve his or her skills and knowledge (mentee). The New Canadians Centre, in collaboration with the local Workforce Development Board, offers a mentorship programme between new Canadians and established Canadians in the workforce. Having lived here for a significant amount of time, established Canadians are able to offer advice concerning employment and life in Canada.  Please access the following links for more information and forms:
