"The session helped me understand Canadian job market & work culture. Though I personally believed that I was doing it all to secure a job, this session helped me understand few very important methods to approach people & network successfully. It helped me to get suggestion from the mentors who have had excellent experience in job market & life. I wish for this to continue, so people who are newcomers like me could make use of this mentorship session."

"The sessions were wonderful. We learnt a lot on how to upgrade our resume, networking tips, and how to prepare for interview using strategies. Overall, the mentors were very kind and helpful with their guidance. Would definitely suggest new immigrants to join in."

The guidance from experienced mentors, who tailored their advice to our individual needs made a significant impact. I'm more confident now."

"I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support and guidance I received through the mentorship program. It is with great joy that I share the news that I have been offered the role of Personal Banker Trainee at one of the major Banks. This achievement would not have been possible without the invaluable assistance of Chester. His extensive knowledge and experience played a pivotal role in my interview process. His insights and advice provided me with the clarity and confidence I needed to excel during the interview. I'm truly grateful for his support. Furthermore, I want to extend my gratitude to each one of you-Rudy, David, Theresa. Being part of the mentoring program has been an enriching experience for me. Your guidance, encouragement, and mentorship have been instrumental in my success. I am excited about the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, and I will always be grateful for the strong foundation that you all have helped me build. Once again thankyou for your unwavering support. I look forward to staying in touch and sharing my progress as I begin this exciting new chapter in my career."

"Dear David, Chester, and Theresa. I'm writing this email to thank you for the time you put in to help me prepare myself for the transition into the Canadian workforce. I'm happy to inform you that as of this week, I've started my new job as Category Marketing Manager. Your support and guidance helped me a lot in landing this job and for that, I will always be grateful to you. I also want to thank Rudy and YMCA for providing this opportunity."

"Being a newcomer to Canada, I was having a hard time securing my first job, inspite of having 20 years experience in the field. I met Mr Chester Fedoruk through YMCA's Mentoring Program and I cannot thank him and the program enough. Armed with the sharpened resumes and elevator pitches, I was able to land a job of a Data Scientist in no time. I highly recommend the program and now look at YMCA not only as a fitness and hostel organization but as an important service to society at large."
