January 11, 2022 Envisioning Youth Employment & Skills Development Through a Mentoring Mindset
Are you looking to support a learning culture in your workplace? Are you wanting youth to gain hands-on job-related experience? Do you want to provide opportunities for youth facing barriers to employment?
MENTOR Canada has joined forces with the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association and Recreation North to create a Mentorship Guide that supports organizations in developing quality mentoring relationships in the workplace, and establishing a mentoring mindset amongst staff and leaders. The goal? Ensuring youth get hands-on training and have the opportunity to be paired with a mentor at their place of employment to benefit from an immersive learning experience.
Who is the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA)?
The Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA) is a national organization dedicated to realizing the full potential of parks and recreation as a major contributor to community health and vibrancy. CPRA’s members include the 13 provincial and territorial parks and recreation associations, and through their networks, CPRA reaches 90% of Canadian communities.
What is the Mentorship Guide?
This Mentorship Guide was created to ensure mentors and mentees develop a mutual understanding of expectations from the beginning of their relationship, and provides a series of identifiable benchmarks and goals to work towards and evaluate progress.
Thank you to all those who attended this event!
