What is MentorAbility?
A national initiative that promotes the employment of people who have a disability in communities throughout Canada. MentorAbility is spearheaded by local Coordinators who facilitate a full or half day mentoring experience in which job seekers who have a disability are matched with individual mentors (employers) – to explore career opportunities and learn what they need to get ahead in their desired field of interest.
Who can be a local Coordinator?
Any organization that wants to assume a local Coordinator role to launch MentorAbility in their local community, who has a genuine interest in promoting employment and the full inclusion of people who have a disability is welcome to register. Local Coordinators can be employment service organizations, educational institutions (including high schools, colleges and universities), business associations, rehabilitation professionals working for local employment agencies, private businesses, government agencies, or labour organizations.
