Through this 32-month project, Mentor Canada and its partners will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. Specifically, the project will address systemic barriers to employment within male-dominated sectors by building the capacity of organizations to bolster the inclusion of women and genderdiverse employees through inclusive mentoring. Mentor Canada and its partners will develop a comprehensive bilingual toolkit which will support organizations in designing, implementing, and evaluating a mentoring program to change organizational norms and culture and foster meaningful inclusion. Customized tools for equity-deserving groups will help organizations tailor their mentoring programs to respond to the groups’ priorities and needs. The development of training materials for mentors will sensitize them to the systemic barriers faced by women and genderdiverse folks and equip them to become agents of change. The development of materials for mentees will empower them to reap the maximum benefits from their mentoring relationship. Engagement activities will motivate stakeholders to adopt and embrace mentoring as a lever for inclusion in male-dominated sectors. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
