YES MENTORSHIP HUB
To further enhance our YESNet offerings, we provide mentorship opportunities through our Mentorship Hub. Participants can connect with industry professionals for personalized guidance, insights, and support in navigating their career paths.
By becoming a mentor you have the opportunity to foster a fulfilling mentoring partnership with a job seeker or entrepreneur. While being a mentor, as shown above, you will be adding so much value to your mentee’s life, you will also be personally fulfilled as you will increase your sense of connection to your community, grow your employment connections, and be a part of shaping the next generation of young professionals in the GTA.
