"I really enjoy mentoring and giving back. With a previous employer, I had the opportunity to support a refugee on his way back into the workplace. I provided coaching, CV advice, mock interviews and he ultimately secured a position in IT" - Mentor
"As the daughter of refugees, I wanted to find an opportunity to make a difference in an area that I feel extremely passionate about. Blue Road Academy is the perfect opportunity to bring together my current role with my family's direct tie to the refugee experience. I continue to care deeply about the experiences of refugees and am excited to be able to have a tangible impact in my role." - Mentor "
As a migrant living in Europe and previously a mentee myself under a similar program, I have benefited greatly from the advice, tips and encouragement of great mentors. I would to give back what I have received to encourage someone new to the country." - Mentor
Increase employee engagement.
Now more than ever, employees want to be directly involved in initiatives they care about. Mentorship is an excellent way for employees to use their volunteer time to support programs in their communities.
Values in action.
Mentorship is a tangible and measurable way for employees to foster company culture, use their volunteer time, and work directly to achieve company social impact or ESG targets.
Pay it forward.
Has someone helped you in your career journey? Mentorship is one of the best ways to share your experience, advice, and support during someone's career journey.
*Mentorship is a voluntary role and does not provide financial compensation
Build your leadership skills.
Mentorship takes empathy, flexibility, and a growth mindset. Align with your company's core values and grow your leadership experience as a Mentor.
Share your knowledge.
Mentorship is a process in which you help develop the career goals and professional skills of someone who is upskilling or reskilling into a new career.
It is also a ‘get and give’ experience with the goal of providing rewards for both Mentors and Mentees.
