About Us
A program of the Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council (TRIEC), The Mentoring Partnership brings together recent skilled immigrants and established professionals in occupation-specific mentoring relationships.
Skilled immigrants entering the program have the education, experience, and language skills they need to succeed in the labour market. What they need are the local insights and access to professional networks that only a one-to-one professional connection with a mentor can offer.
Now operating for over five years in the Greater Toronto Region, The Mentoring Partnership has facilitated over 5,800 mentoring relationships between skilled immigrants and established Canadian professionals. Since the launch of the program, over 50 organizations have offered The Mentoring Partnership to their staff as an opportunity to enhance their leadership and coaching competencies, and develop their cross-cultural skills.
The ALLIES National Mentoring Initiative, in partnership with TD Bank Financial Group, is bringing mentoring programs for skilled immigrants to other cities in Canada. If you are a national employer, you can roll out mentoring for skilled immigrants across your various Canadian branches where mentoring programs are active. Contact ALLIES to support you through this process.
ALLIES is a project jointly funded by Maytree and The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation.
