The Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the launch of a new Mentoring program for New Immigrants. This Group Mentoring Program will be conducted in association with JVS Toronto and TRIEC.

Objectives of the program

Action plan
We will launch the program with a pilot project between March 2011 and May 2011, for a selected group. The pilot program will comprise one mentor and 6 mentees in a sector specific mentoring group. Once the group is matched, they will take part in 5 mentoring sessions over a course of 4 months. The main program will commence in June 2011.
If you are a new immigrant or a seasoned Canadian professional, we encourage you to be a part of this program.
