Workplace Connections Mentoring Program

Thank you for your interest in Workplace Connections Mentoring Program!

Unfortunately, the program is currently on pause, and we are not accepting any new volunteer applications at this time. Please check back again in mid-November.

Overview

Mentors are matched to new immigrants with international experience in your field or who are looking to transition into your field of expertise. With your help, newcomers can better navigate the local labour market, job opportunities, and be prepared to present themselves to potential employers.

To volunteer, you should have:

  • three years of professional experience in Metro Vancouver
  • connections to professional and business networks
  • an interest in other cultures
  • strong interpersonal skills

I love the experience so far and feel honoured to be part of the mentorship process.

As a mentor, I believe I get even more out of the experience than the mentees do.

I have had a more complete and deeper understanding of an immigrant’s life and I have gained a new perspective from which to think. And my communication, problem-solving and even job search skills were brought to a higher level.
