January is mentoring month

January is mentoring month and what better way to make a difference in 2013 than mentoring a new skilled immigrant. The Mentoring Partnership, a TRIEC initiative, has now successfully matched over 7,000 skilled immigrants with established Canadian professionals.

Mentors admit that they gain as much as they give. Mentoring is a great opportunity to improve your leadership and cross-cultural communications skill.
