Mentorship in Fredericton
by Karen LeBlanc, Mentorship Coordinator

Report on the HRANB Fredericton Chapter Mentorship Program

The last two mentorship projects have been successful with 38 participants in the pilot project and 32 participants in 2006/2007. Partners in the project included the HRANB Fredericton Chapter, the Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour, and Enterprise Fredericton.

Our first step was to establish an advisory committee: Karen LeBlanc, Shelly O’Donnell, Chad Shearer, Kathi McNeill, Amy Cameron and Jason Scarbro.

We started the program in October, 2006 by hosting an information session about the program for approximately 40 participants. If individuals were interested in participating as a mentor or as a mentee, they were asked to complete a registration form. The forms were then used to help the committee match mentees with appropriate mentors. Once we had individuals matched, we held an orientation session in November. Then we held a networking session with HRANB in December.

In March, we held a session on Resumes and Executive Recruitment in early March and another session on Competencies in late March for mentorship participants. Our next step will be to hold an evaluation and feedback session, and a final event in June.
