IDEA Living Library

Mentoring is a joint venture. Successful mentoring means sharing responsibility for learning. It is about building a partnership relationship. It is characterized by: acceptance, trust, openness, support, caring and commitment.

Intentional Learning is the Cornerstone

The Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA) Living Library allows you to access mentorship at your own pace and is designed to maximize the potential for engagement across intersections of identity. Regardless of where you may be on your career path and personal journey, we hope you find someone to inspire you on your path forward.

PUT YOURSELF ON OUR BOOKSHELF!

Become a 'Living Book'

Can you tell us about your journey? We invite you to register to be a Living Book by adding your name to a database of individuals that federal servants can meet with to gain perspective on career development. This can be a powerful resource for those looking to explore other careers paths or opportunities and to get first hand advice and story sharing.

Making yourself available as a book will also allow you to gain valuable experience explaining your professional advancement, to support the talent development of others, and to build the stories that can improve success when seeking job opportunities.

Living books can be ‘checked out’ for 30 minute conversations (a maximum 5 times for the year). Review our Living Book Interaction Guide for tips on how to get the most out of your discussions.

Registering is easy! Download and complete our quick registration form, and email it to XXX@sac-isc.gc.ca. You can also add yourself directly by exploring the network catalogues below.
