Professional Mentoring Partnership

KEYS offers 3 different mentoring opportunities to fit the availability and interests of immigrant and volunteer participants:

Professional Mentoring

Established professionals share their expertise and experience one-on-one with an immigrant professional in the same field for 24 hours over a 4 month period. Mentoring includes face to face meetings, phone calls and emails, and is supported by a Mentor Coach.

The Connector Program

Established professionals with deep business and professional contacts help to expand the professional networks of immigrants by committing to one face-to-face meeting with a newcomer in the same field and to referring him/her to 3 additional contacts from their own network.

Career Speed Networking Session

Local employers network with new talent in Kingston, sharing information about their occupation while participating in a 2-hour career speed networking session designed to give newcomers exposure to the Kingston job market, provide occupation-specific information about Canadian workplace and job search culture, and to expand their professional networks.
