About the IPAC Toronto Region Mentorship Program

  2. Make connections with individuals interested in public policy and public administration.

  3. Receive career advice and firsthand insights from experiences.

The Mentoring Relationship

The Mentorship Program pairs a leader working in the public sector, with a mentee, usually from a different level of government. Participants can be both a mentor & a mentee.
Mentors and mentees will be required to participate in an orientation/kick off session at the beginning of the program. Mentors and mentees are also required to hold a minimum of 3 meetings with their match.

“The insight I gained from my mentor was invaluable! The mentorship helped me significantly with two job interviews & I was the successful candidate for one of the positions.” - Mentee

“The opportunity to meet with an established leader was very advantageous to my career development. I was given useful advice and some hiring insight that the stringent Government HR process does not always share. It was also a great opportunity to grow my network.” - Mentee
