Overview:

The WILL Immploy Mentorship program brings together job-ready immigrant talent with volunteer mentors across Southwestern Ontario. The mentorship match is focused on high-level, professional mentorship between a mentor who works in the same field or profession that the mentee is now seeking employment in.

Who will be providing orientation?

Carly MacArthur is the Team Lead of Mentorship with WILL Immploy. Carly has an undergraduate degree in International Development and a graduate degree in Global Governance. Throughout her education, Carly focused her major research efforts on topics related to labour rights, corporate social responsibility and ethical business. Additionally, Carly has over five years of experience working in the settlement sector in different capacities to support newcomers to Canada. Carly is excited that through the mentorship program she is able to bring these two fields of interest together as she connects newcomers with mentors in their field – ultimately supporting greater diversity, equity and inclusion, and thus social responsibility among our regional workforce.

Note: This orientation will take place virtually. A Zoom link will be sent out to all attendees prior to the event.
