With growing concerns about a looming labour shortage in Alberta, a unique program by Immigrant Services Calgary is helping to re-establish careers for skilled immigrant and refugee women by connecting them with established professionals in the same or related occupations. The Integrated Women’s Mentorship Program was established as a pilot project in April 2008 and today has about 360 active participants each year with about 60 mentors each year as well.
