About
Innovation & Mentorship Hub
Club members and invited experts are requested to introduce their vocations to students and youths in the community via one-to-one, webinars, podcasts or face-to-face.
This may take the form of one-to-one mentorship in various areas of endeavor e.g. Environment, Entrepreneurship, Website Development, Optometry, Engineering etc.
Plan is to expand the mentorship to cover much wider areas of interest via connections with established learning platforms and organizations e.g. Mentorship platforms (UofA-CEI, Alberta-Mentorship, CPA-Alberta, Mentoring-Canada, Startup-Edmonton etc.) and Online training platforms (EdX, Khan Academy, Udemy etc.)
Region
