Mentorship Program
Since 2009, the PMI Lakeshore Ontario Chapter (PMILOC) has been helping project professionals grow through a flexible, community‑driven Mentorship Program. Participants gain practical insight into the Canadian PM landscape, strengthen their job‑search and interview skills, expand their networks, and often achieve major milestones—including earning the PMP.
From our mentees:
- “An ideal place to talk through real problems with someone who’s been there.”
- “A chance to gain new perspectives I couldn’t find anywhere else.”
Unlike traditional one‑to‑one matching, PMILOC offers both group and individual mentoring. Participants choose mentors or mentees who best align with their goals, creating a supportive and adaptable learning environment.
For Mentees ...
- Increased confidence and professional clarity
- Enhanced project management and leadership skills
- Career development and job-search strategies
- Support with work-life balance and prioritization

For Mentors ...
- Recognition for community service
