EE Informal Networking and Mentorship - Réseau informel et mentorat de l'EE

Welcome to the GC Mentorship Community / Bienvenue à la communauté du mentorat du GC

Who Are We?

Qui sommes-nous?

EE Informal Networking and Mentorship Platform provides equity and equity seeking GoC professionals with the opportunity to informally network with, and learn from, colleagues who come from similar backgrounds or who may share similar lived experiences.   This is a grassroots initiative supported by the NCRYPN, the Federal Youth Network and GC Students in collaboration with the Anti-Racism Ambassadors Network. Please note that this initiative is evergreen. Mentors are welcome to join and withdraw from the community as needed.

La plateforme de réseautage informel et de mentorat de l'EME offre aux professionnels du GC en quête d'équité et d'équité la possibilité de réseauter de façon informelle avec des collègues qui viennent de milieux similaires ou qui partagent des expériences vécues similaires, et d'apprendre d'eux.   Il s'agit d'une initiative locale soutenue par le NCRYPN, le Réseau fédéral des jeunes et les étudiants du GC, en collaboration avec le Réseau des ambassadeurs de l'antiracisme. Veuillez noter que cette initiative est évolutive. Les mentors sont invités à se joindre à la communauté et à s'en retirer au besoin.

How It Works

Comment ça fonctionne

Equity and equity seeking employees can use the Equity Mentorship and Networking Program to connect with colleagues across the GC who have similar lived experiences. The program can be used to set up small coffee meetings between employees across departments and levels interesting in connecting and receiving advice and colleagues from accross the public sector who share in their lived experiences.

Les employés en quête d'équité peuvent utiliser le Programme de mentorat et de réseautage en matière d'équité pour entrer en contact avec des collègues de tout le GC qui ont des expériences de vie similaires. Le programme peut être utilisé pour organiser de petites rencontres autour d'un café entre des employés de tous les services et de tous les niveaux intéressés à établir des liens et à recevoir des conseils et des collègues de tout le secteur public qui partagent leurs expériences vécues.
