Another successful MentorAbility career exploration session in Corner Brook!

Hands on learning in the workplace gives mentees the chance to explore careers, develop new skills, and gain valuable real world experience. These mentees did an excellent job today, showing enthusiasm, confidence, and a willingness to learn while taking on new tasks!

Thank you to our returning mentors for making these opportunities possible!

We had the pleasure of attending the Community Well-being Fair hosted by Community Sector Council Newfoundland and Labrador ⭐

After a busy morning facilitating a mentorship experience, it was great to connect with the community and share more about the work that we do!

We also had the opportunity to promote the Inclusion Passport - a great initiative headed by CCRW for National AccessAbility Week (NAAW). Access your passport here: ccrw.ac-page.com/naaw-inclusion-passport

Wow! What a fantastic experience for our mentees exploring career opportunities at St. John's International Airport during National AccessAbility Week (NAAW)!

In partnership with the Autism Society, Newfoundland & Labrador, seven mentees had the opportunity to learn just what it takes to keep YYT running smoothly. From baggage handling to concessions, they discovered the wide range of career paths available at the airport.

Thank you to Connie, Steve, and the Air Canada team for your mentorship and guidance! We look forward to building on these connections and creating more opportunities for mentees to explore rewarding careers.
