What is MentorAbility? 

​

MentorAbility:

​

• connects people with their passion(s) in a work environment.

• is an opportunity for job seekers to explore their career choices.

• offers employers an easy way to connect with a diverse workforce.

• takes the idea of mentoring to the next level!

 

The MentorAbility Experience [MA_X] is coordinated by a local employment service provider.  In MentorAbility an employment provider is referred to as a site partner.  

 

MentorAbility enlists a workplace member to mentor a “matched” Protégé who wants to learn more about a specific workplace or career.  The MA_X can be 1 hour up to 1 day long, at the employer’s discretion.

​

MentorAbility leverages collaboration between a national network of employment service providers and the Canadian Business Community to create opportunities for career mentorship and a deeper understanding of the abilities of the fastest growing ‘minority group’ on the planet – people with disabilities.
