Mentoring is a simple idea that helps immigrants:
11
• Build their professional networks
• Improve their job search strategies
• Enhance their understanding of how their profession is practiced in Canada
• Familiarize them with Canadian workplace culture
Mentee’s goal: Reconnect with their career
What is success?
Workplace Culture and understanding Canadian context of the occupation
Information sharing on occupation and industry
Networking and developing professional connections
12
• Occupation specific partnerships help to reconnect skilled immigrant mentees to their career;
• Partnership is 24 hours over four months (1.5 hours/week);
• Decide on focus, pace, meeting locations and times;
• Meet face-to-face, online or via telephone
• Identify goals and draft action plan together;
• A mentee only gets one mentoring opportunity
• Each Mentor-Mentee pair is supported by a dedicated mentoring coach, training and resources to manage an effective relationship;
• Partnerships focus on WIN areas.

Recruitment and Screening of Mentors
TRIEC recruits corporate mentors internally through organized info sessions, or individuals apply directly through the TMP website.
•Employer partner mentors are screened by the partner before they register to become mentors.
•Individual mentors who register via the TMP website are not prescreened. The coach must do a reference check before accepting their first partnership with an individual mentor, unless otherwise instructed by TRIEC.
Service delivery partners recruit individual mentors. This involves steps:
•Providing information on the program to potential mentors;
•Screening Interview to ensure that applicants meet program suitability
•Reference checks for individual mentors must be done prior to the mentor’s registration.
Employers- Mentor Recruitment
• Gain quicker access to many prospective and quality mentors at once
• Saves time as the reference check is not required
• Easier to arrange group training and orientation for mentors
• Hidden job market will become accessible
• Employers become a champion in promoting skilled immigrant talent

Evaluation Partners
Involve partners at the start and embed evaluation into all of the program elements :
•Ensures we are measuring what they need measured.
•This ensures increased uptake – all partners see the value in promoting uptake of program evaluation tools and therefore data set stronger.
•It builds common understanding between partners on the program outcomes – and what is valuable to each partner about the program
•Embeds evaluation collection into the program processes
•Embeds analysis of data into the partnership processes – and ensures that sense making of data has depth
•Builds review of evaluation into program processes – thus increasing relevance of data to program learning and future program development
Quality Assurance Tip 6:Document & Tell the Story
• Document how the program impacted immigrants, mentors, employers and community partners
• Invite immigrants, mentors, employers and community partners to tell their success

The Pecaut Legacy
Three years ago a group of social entrepreneurs and corporate partners launched the Pecaut Centre for Social Impact. All of us had spent years working closely with David Pecaut and were inspired by both his passion for social impact and his ability to bring together
thought leaders from all walks of life. When he passed away in 2009 we searched for a way to honour his legacy and expand his reach …
which was the genesis of the Pecaut Centre.
