Mentorship Program

KCR offers Settlement and Employment Mentorship opportunities to help newcomers build knowledge, confidence, and connections.

Settlement Mentorship supports newcomers in learning about their community, building social connections, and adjusting to life in Canada. Employment Mentorship connects newcomers with professionals who can share knowledge about Canadian workplace culture, career development, networking, and job search strategies.

If you are interested in either Employment or Settlement Mentorship, please contact mentorship@kcr.ca.

Settlement Mentorship Program

  • Do you want to practice your English?
  • Do you want to meet more people in Kelowna?
  • Do you want to become more involved in Canadian culture and lifestyle?

The Settlement Mentorship Program can match you with a mentor who has been living in Canada for a longer amount of time. You and your mentor will meet once a week for 3 months. Your mentor can help you practice your English, meet people and become more involved in Canadian culture by doing different activities that you are both interested in. Meetings can take place in person or online.

KCR’s Employment Mentorship Program is designed with the goal of providing comprehensive support to individuals seeking to acclimate to Canadian workplace culture, enhance their job search acumen, and establish connections with professionals already established in their chosen field. Throughout the program, participants engage in weekly meetings with their assigned mentor over a duration of two months. These sessions, which can be conducted either in-person or online, serve as invaluable opportunities for mentees to gain insights, refine their skills, and expand their professional network within the Canadian job market.
