MENTORING PROGRAMS
If you are a new immigrant, the Career Mentoring for
SUCCESS Program will bridge you to career success by
providing you with the information you need in your field
of expertise. Your mentor will not find you a job, but they
will provide you with information, support, and guidance
to jumpstart your professional career in Canada. You will
expand your knowledge about the key resources of your
profession, the specific pathways to credential assessment,
how to upgrade your education, and how to increase your
opportunities to access the “hidden” job market.
Research shows that new immigrants who participate in
employment mentoring programs are more likely to secure
employment related to their experience after participating
in a mentoring program. They are also more likely to find
employment in their field of work at a faster rate than
immigrants who don’t take part in mentoring programs.
(The results are in: Mentoring improves employment outcomes for skilled
immigrants, ALLIES Canada, 2013)
