“The process of working with a mentor has been very rewarding…It feels like you have a bright, business-savvy, supportive person in your corner at all times. That person has an intelligent answer to most questions and a different perspective that can be really insightful.”

“I am at a stage in my career as a leader where I’m starting to think – where do I want to go from here ? I live and work in a small city in Alberta, and I don’t have a lot of access to leaders for me to learn from, share stories with or ask advice. This program gives me access to mentorship on a global scale, and has connected me with other participants that are like-minded and in the same situation.
Knowing that Sherritt supports my career goals through its sponsorship is just one of the many benefits of this program. By giving me the resources and encouragement to participate, I feel recognized and valued. Not to mention, one of our senior leaders is a mentor. To me, that shows the world that Sherritt has something of value to share too and that as a company, we care about women succeeding in industry.”

“The IWRMP was a world class opportunity. It was a well-structured program that provided me with the opportunity to learn leadership and coping skills, and to be empowered by an experienced mentor doing similar work in a university in Mongolia. My mentor was able to share her experiences, within a different cultural lens, and help me navigate through my own environment. We developed a great friendship.”

“I am really enjoying it – after every session I find that I am very motivated. The timing of the mentorship was perfect as I had a change in my role, so it was great to have someone to give me positive and proactive advice on how to deal with and manage the change to ensure the best outcome for myself.”
