Matching the participants
The OCA will match candidates based on location, expertise and experience. We will inform you of your mentee or mentor via email. Unfortunately the OCA may not be able to match all participants immediately.
The Next Steps
Once the mentee has been matched with a suitable mentor, it is the mentee’s responsibility to initiate contact with you. The mentee must arrange a convenient appointment date/time, either in person, video conference, telephone or by email. Stay tuned for our new monthly Mentorship e-bulletin which will include tips, articles and activities to help you throughout the program. Should any conflicts or concerns arise during the mentorship program please contact the OCA immediately.
