About the Program
MENTORSHIP PROGRAM PROCESS
The Mentorship Program is a 8-Month Commitment for interested students to work with a skilled business professional who serves as a Mentor.
- Our goal is to guide youth in the early stages of their career journey, helping them refine their skills and develop soft skills for success.
- We aim to connect high school students with industry leaders to enhance critical skills and help them confidently pursue suitable career paths or educational goals.
- The program offers job shadowing opportunities and connects students with educational pathways to achieve their aspirations.

Program Requirements:
2025/26 School Year session has begun. We are now taking applications.
- Students must be enrolled in grades 9-12. (Home School Students are allowed).
