You can be qualified for every position you apply to, but if you’re checking the same job sites as everyone else while most opportunities circulate through social networks you’re not part of, your qualifications risk becoming irrelevant.
For Black students in Edmonton, this is an ever-present reality. One Prof. Cecilia Bukutu of Concordia University of Edmonton and Viola Manokore of NorQuest College set out to change with the Mentorship & Resilience Project.
The program doesn’t promise jobs will appear with a phone call. But it recognizes that being qualified isn’t enough when you don’t know which companies are hiring, when you’re applying to the same saturated job boards, when you lack the soft skills to navigate networking spaces.
Mentorship closes these gaps.
