The TRIEC Mentoring Partnership

If you are an immigrant with a professional background, TRIEC Mentoring Partnership can help you reconnect with your career with the support of a mentor who works in your field, in Canada.

By talking to a mentor who shares your professional background and knows how the local labour market works, you can get a head start on your journey to success in Canada.

77% of participants find a job in their professional field within six months of completing the program. TRIEC Mentoring Partnership more than doubles a newcomer’s chances of securing a good-quality job.

COSTI is a partner with TRIEC Mentoring Partnership – a program of the Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council delivered by 12 community partners across the greater Toronto area, including COSTI.
