Since 2019, we have loved supporting the growth of the Alberta Mentorship Program and learning, alongside our partner organizations, about the challenges, strategies, and community-grown ideas to connect new mentees with mentors.
Our program encourages:
- A network of emerging mentorship programs.
- A repository of resources for organizations looking to launch their career mentorship program.
- A pilot to test and assess using organizational mentorship as a strategy to strengthen Alberta's culture and ecosystem of mentorship.
- A way to spotlight and celebrate the innovation, determination, and success of career mentorship programs across Alberta.
We see the strength, expertise, and evolution of our network as one of the key gains of the Alberta Mentorship Program and, with consideration, we thought it was time for a new name to reflect our outreach.
In January 2025, the Alberta Mentorship Program becomes the Alberta Immigration Mentorship Network (AIMN).
Our social media channels have the same pages with our new name and logo:
AMP is now the Alberta Immigrant Mentorship Network (AIMN)
Along with our name and logo change, we are excited to announce a new chapter of AIMN where we will engage with organizations in the Edmonton area to strengthen and to launch their career mentorship programs. With this expanded focus, we will continue to include you in upcoming project activities.
Doug Piquette from the Edmonton Region Immigrant Employment Council (ERIEC) and Cheryl Whitelaw from AIMN would like to express their gratitude to everyone who has stepped up to advance mentorship to newcomers in this province and shared their insights, strategies, challenges, and triumphs across this network.
Through ERIEC and AIMN, our shared value is seeing career mentorship as a tool for enhancing our communities' shared prosperity and peace. We appreciate how all of you have worked to create more inclusive communities through mentorship and are proud to move alongside you in the future.
