"WIL's Employment Preparation program is a very useful tool for newcomers because it not only helps you develop a Canadian cover letter and resume, but helps you increase your network."
Mentorship For Newcomer Success Program
The Mentorship for Newcomer Success program connects internationally trained individuals with local mentors to gain a better understanding of the local job market in their field or occupation; establish valuable networking contacts; and learn more about sector-specific language and professional practice in Canada.
How does the program work?
- Internationally Trained Individuals who could benefit from being matched with a mentor are referred from program partner agencies (including WIL) after successfully completing an employment preparation program
- A program orientation training session is provided outlining the roles and expectations of participants
- Mentees are matched with a mentor, a professional within their field or desired field
- When the mentor and mentee agree to participate, they negotiate an agreement (Mentor Mentee Agreement ) to ensure an understanding of the program outcomes for both parties
- The agreement is for a set time frame of 6 months, and participants agree to spend a minimum of 24 hours during this time on mentoring activities
- The Program Coordinator is available to provide ongoing support and guidance, and will provide resources during the orientation including ideas on different activities to consider to enhance the mentorship experience
