MentorAbility Experience Story: Lillian
At the end of the tour, Lillian reflected on the day's mentorship, saying she had a great time and could see herself working a similar type of job in the future.
Lillian was interested in exploring different types of employment opportunities when she was referred to MentorAbility. Due to her openness in trying different careers, we paired her with one of our excellent partners at Parian Logistics in Winnipeg.
The mentor, who is familiar with MentorAbility, provided Lillian with a wonderful hands-on mentorship in the E-Commerce side of the warehouse. Here she was instructed on how to properly organize, pick out, and pack orders. Lillian mentioned during this mentorship that she felt she was very good at packing products but never would have known this without her MentorAbility Experience with the mentor.
After the hands-on experience in E-Commerce, Lillian was given a detailed tour of the rest of the warehouse as well as the other departments within Parian Logistics, such as their shipping and distribution departments. The mentor’s knowledge and expertise were invaluable and really gave Lillian a full understanding of the inner workings of the warehouse.
At the end of the tour, Lillian reflected on the day’s mentorship, saying she had a great time and could see herself working a similar type of job in the future. She also said the mentor’s encouragement gave her a major boost of confidence.
Many thanks to both the mentor and Parian Logistics for providing such a wonderful MentorAbility Experience and a big congratulations to Lillian for taking advantage of this great opportunity!
