About MentorConnect

Strategic Mentorship Innovative Workplaces

Connecting talent, experience, and opportunity to create stronger workplaces.

MentorConnect connects skilled global talent and established professionals for occupation-specific mentoring.

Skilled immigrants who are new to BC have the education, experience, and language skills to succeed in the Canadian labour market. However, they may not understand the Canadian context of their profession, workplace culture, or know how to translate their skillsets. Often, they need local insights and access to professional networks that a one-on-one connection with a local mentor can offer.

MentorConnect provides up to 12 hours of mentoring over a two-month period.
