TRIEC Mentoring Partnership

Find a mentor to help you progress your career in Canada.
If you are an immigrant with a professional background, TRIEC Mentoring Partnership* can help you reconnect with your career with the support of a mentor who works in your field, in Canada.

By talking to a mentor who shares your professional background and knows how the local labour market works, you can get a head start on your journey to success in Canada.

In fact, 75% of participants find a job in their professional field within one year.

You should sign up for the program if you:

• Have 2+ years of international experience in your professional field
• Have lived in Canada for less than five years
• Are unemployed or underemployed and looking to reconnect with your career

A mentor can help you:

• Understand Canadian industry trends
• Develop more effective job search strategies
• Build your professional network
• Find ways of leveraging your experience and skills

Interested? Contact a Mentoring Partnership Coach to learn how to sign-up.
