We had a paws-itively amazing time at a mentorship session with Some Good Dog Grooming 🐾✂️

A big thank you to mentor Deidre - and to Brick and Tripp, our adorable four-legged “mini-mentors” - for making the experience informative and fun!

Opportunities like this give participants a behind-the-scenes look at real careers, helping them build skills, confidence, and connections. But these experiences aren’t possible without the incredible support of local businesses and entrepreneurs who step up to mentor, share their expertise, and inspire future talent.

Interested in becoming a mentor or hosting a visit? We’d love to connect!

We’re incredibly grateful for another amazing MentorAbility experience on the West Coast! ☕🥐

This week’s mentorship with Brewed Awakening provided a hands-on look into the world of baking and coffee, learning the craft of a baker/barista. From preparing fresh treats to mastering the art of a great cup of coffee, this opportunity was all about building skills, knowledge, and confidence!

And yes, there were some delicious samples along the way too! 🍪☕

We’re especially grateful to Brewed Awakening for opening your doors and creating such a welcoming, supportive environment. It’s inspiring to see a local business giving back and uplifting the community, opportunities like this truly make a lasting impact! Thank you!

Diving into the world of ocean technology! 🌊

We recently had the pleasure of spending the morning with the Marine Institute, Memorial University School of Ocean Technology for a hands-on mentorship experience. Three participants got an inside look at what it’s like to work as an ROV operator - testing their skills on the simulators and even exploring the acoustic tank.

A big thank you to the team for inspiring the next generation of ocean technology professionals and giving our participants a glimpse into exciting careers beneath the waves!

Participants gained practical insight into the technical skills, workplace expectations, and problem-solving abilities that support long-term success in this industry. Seeing the day-to-day operations firsthand helped connect career exploration with real, attainable opportunities.

Thank you to the team for investing their time and expertise in supporting inclusive career development.
