Big Possibilities
This program is not currently offered, but please check back later. We are working to secure funding to offer this unique program in the future.
What is Big Possibilities?
Our one-to-one Big Possibilities career mentoring program is managed by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Winnipeg in partnership with the River East Transcona School Division and the Better Business Bureau, with the generous support of the RBC Future Launch Foundation.
Youth aged 14-25 will be matched with a working professional in a one-to-one mentoring relationship and will meet twice a month from February to June. Efforts will be made to match mentees with mentors working in a similar field the youth wish to pursue.
What topics are covered?
- Career Planning & Work Life Balance
- Job Interview Preparation & Resume Building
- Teamwork in the Workplace
- Business Start Up & Entrepreneurship
Why do we need career mentoring for youth?
Research shows that mentored youth are 17% more likely to be gainfully employed later in life and make on average 13% more in those jobs when compared to non-mentored youth. Career mentoring provides our youth with new skills to add to their tool boxes and helps them to dream big and reach their full potential!
Thank you to our past program supporters!
