Welcome to the GC Mentorship Community / Bienvenue!
Who Are We?
The GC Mentorship Community on GCPedia is a grassroots initiative supported by the NCRYPN, the Federal Youth Network, and GC Students, that provides young GofC professionals and students with the opportunity to informally connect with, and learn from, experienced employees. This community consists of mentors, listed in the table below, who have graciously volunteered their time and stories to share with you, our interested mentees. The purpose of this initiative is to mirror the beauty of the "Living Library" trend, which aims to bring back the art of connecting with others by providing access to individuals who are willing to share their time, their energy, and their stories. By engaging with our Community, you are learning from the stories and experiences of a wide range of individuals in the Canadian public service.
Please note that this initiative is evergreen. Mentors are welcome to join and withdraw from the community as needed, as are mentees.
How It Works:
Below, you will find all of the mentors participating in this initiative, along with their relevant details. Mentees - please feel free to scan our list of mentors below. When you find one who speaks to your interests and goals, click on their contact information and send them an email to schedule a one-on-one chat. The suggested amount of time for a chat is 30 minutes. Please be respectful of your mentors - they are volunteers, after all!
Want To Get Involved?
