About TRIEC
The Mentoring Partnership is an alliance of corporate partners, community agencies and the Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council (TRIEC). This multi-stakeholder council works towards improved access to employment for immigrants in the Toronto region, facilitating opportunities to better use the skills, education and experience they bring with them to Canada. The Mentoring Partnership evolved through TRIEC’s mandate to support skilled immigrants and represents the best-of-breed in mentoring through technology, training and programme development.

On-line registration and authentication
A comprehensive matching algorithm with customized and weighted criteria
