Mentorship - empower newcomers with professional backgrounds

The YMCA Mentorship Program is designed for internationally trained professionals (ITPs) who have been in Canada for less than 3 years and have not yet worked in their field of expertise. The program will match them with experienced professionals from Canada based on shared education and similar work experience to provide guidance, give insights and expand networks.
