The African Diaspora Association: African Descent

Mentorship Program Dept: This week, the African Diaspora Association of the Maritimes launched a mentorship program to help people of African descent become more employable. The whole purpose is to give them a connection . . . to persons in their field, said project manager Keira Carey, according to The Chronicle Herald. We are matching 20 mentors with 20 mentees for the duration of the three months, Carey said and a group of African students and recent graduates are getting a leg-up in the job market. The three-month program runs through to the end of March and is funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
