How to effectively manage a language mentoring program to bolster the Official Languages Program
A thriving Official Languages Program is essential to implementing the Official Languages Act. One of the low-cost ways we can actively engage our English- and French-speaking colleagues in our efforts to promote both official languages is through language mentoring. But how can we do this effectively? In this workshop, I'll share with you the steps I took to launch a Language Mentorship Program successfully that supports my work as a Person Responsible for Official Languages in my institution.
