What is MentorAbility?
MentorAbility is a national supported employment initiative that provides an opportunity for education and awareness to be shared between employers and people experiencing a disability in communities across Canada. This initiative offers a unique mentoring experience in which job seekers with disabilities (Mentees) are matched with individual mentors (employers or business leaders) – to explore different career pathways and opportunities in their desired field of interest.
