NEW IMMIGRANT TECHNOLOGY MENTORS
Meet our New Immigrant Mentors
Connected Canadians was awarded an Economic Development Grant from the City of Ottawa, which ran from May until November 2021. With this funding, Connected Canadians developed a program to train three cohorts of new immigrants in the Ottawa region as paid technology mentors for isolated seniors amidst the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. These mentors were trained on remote support best practices and tools to use with our senior clients, while leveraging their diverse language skills, cultural competencies, and previous work experiences in their new technology mentorship roles.
