The Atlantic Canada Study and Stay - Prince Edward Island program (www.studypei.ca), is recruiting mentors to meet with students for a minimum of 6 hours over the next 7 months. This program is designed for international students in their final year at publicly funded PEI post-secondary institutions who want to stay in Prince Edward Island after graduation to build their lives and find meaningful employment in PEI.
The program runs from October - August and during this time students attend a retreat, a conference and online workshops; all focused on assisting the students with becoming familiar with the PEI workforce and best practices in finding employment. The Mentor aspect of the program is matching a Mentor with a Student and asking them to meet periodically between January and July. Meetings are generally informal, over a cup of coffee, or can be held online via Skype, etc.
These mentor opportunities will really help our students with networking, soft skills and overall confidence to enter the workforce. The Mentors often end up learning something new too! Mentors can sign up at:
