Become a Career Mentor
The Lethbridge Family Services, Career Mentorship Program matches local professionals and internationally educated newcomers who share similar professional and/or educational backgrounds.
Do you want to become a leader and give back to your professional community? Are you interested in connecting one-on-one with a mentee in your professional or educational background? Do you remember what it was like getting your career started?
You can become a pivotal piece in helping to build the networks and provide mentorship to help immigrant professionals understand your industry.
