MentorAbility provides a unique mentoring experience in which job seekers who self-identify as having a disability are matched with individual mentors (employers or business leaders) – to explore different career pathways and opportunities in their desired field of interest. The experience can last from 1 hour to 1 day long.

Your MentorAbility Experience could involve any of the following:

• You could have a tour of a workplace.
• You may meet new people.
• You could find out more information about a possible career path.
• You could get advice from people with experience in different types of work.
• You could have someone from Human Resources give you feedback on your resume.
• You might do some job-shadowing or observing. So you can see what is involved in a job you are interested in.
• You could learn more about a certain type of business.
• You could do a practice interview.
• You can expand your professional network.
• You can explore the next steps on your career path!
