“Show me a successful individual and I’ll show you someone who had real positive influences in his or her life. I don’t care what you do for a living—if you do it well, I’m sure there was someone cheering you on or showing the way. A mentor.” — Denzel Washington

At PLT Canada, we want to create a mentorship program that connects our diverse group of incredible youth to our strong network of employers across Canada. We know that the world of employment can seem vast and sometimes daunting, so aligning oneself with someone who can help is invaluable.

For our mentors, this will be an opportunity to help shape the future of our industry and to share their skills, knowledge and expertise. It will be a chance for them to stay fresh and exchange new ideas about our changing world.

For our mentees, our program will be an excellent opportunity to make professional connections and expand their knowledge and understanding in a field of interest to them. Participating in our mentorship program will help them overcome barriers to entering the field of forestry, parks or recreation, and support their long-term career development.

Please complete our survey:

We need your help to develop the best program possible – one that suits the specific needs of our network. Please help us by completing the survey below by Thursday, November 14, 2019, for a chance to win a packable daypack. MENTORSHIP SURVEY
