Mentorship
Be a Mentor - Share Your Knowledge and Hone Your Leadership Skills!
Our mentorship program brings together internationally trained professionals (ITPs) and established Canadian professionals from the same fields.
Being a mentor is a wonderful way to enhance your leadership and coaching skills. It’s also an opportunity to have a lasting impact on the career path of an ITP by helping them to transition to the Canadian labour market and to life in Northern Ontario.
To find out how you or your employees can become mentors to an ITP, contact us at 1.866.210.3020 or send an email to [email protected].
Mentorship Success:
“Many times, the mentor learns just as much from the mentee. The experience is a two-way street.”
- Maria Saari, Mentor

“We want to thank you for your help in the hiring of our last employee. We have been looking to hire an engineer/project manager for some time with no success using Canada job bank, recruiters and local newspaper. After contacting PNN, they provided several résumés of individuals that could be interested to work at Nor-Arc.”
“I was fortunate to have been introduced to Professions North… PNN provided and identified key applicants. From these applicants, I fulfilled the position!
PNN alleviated a lot of the work for me so that I could dedicate my time to the business. I would recommend PNN to any organization, who needs to find the employees that would best fit their organization’s environment, with the proper skills.”
