The importance of mentoring for new immigrants in Canada
An Intern's Perspective
We know that Career Edge interns - past and present - are exceptionally talented and make great contributions to their employers. But sometimes we are surprised (and delighted) when we see interns take the initiative of sharing their experiences, paying it forward for others who may be facing similar challenges to what they have successfully overcome. 

Sujit Das is one of these former interns who has gone out of his way to help other internationally qualified professionals succeed by highlighting the important role mentoring played in helping him find success after immigrating to Canada, while also listing the reciprocal benefits mentors gain by coaching interns who are new to Canadian workplace norms.

InternSHIFT: Episode 1 
We have officially jumped on the podcasting bandwagon with InternSHIFT, a podcast hosted by Career Edge that aims to shift the way people think about internships.

For our very first episode, we dove into our newest paid internship program for Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Reservists. Speaking with Lieutenant Colonel Derek Cheff, Executive Director at the Canadian Forces Liaison Council, along with our internal CAF team, listeners will get a deep understanding of the program, and how it supports the Canadian Forces as a whole, subsequently building employers' military-friendly recruitment strategies and national pride.

Our fifth and final EPIC Contest winner is...
