TESTIMONIALS

Natalie Muir

Mentor

I am constantly blown away by the talent that exists in our YWPs. Chantal was no exception! So much energy and drive. So many things that she has done in her career already.

It was a great experience and I love getting to know new people! I’ve already registered for the 2023 program

Danika Smith

Mentee

I’ve gotten a lot out of the program so far and I’d like to do it again. It’s such a good way to learn about the industry and how to build your career from someone who is willing to share their experiences and their knowledge. Once I have some more experience behind me, I would definitely like to offer my services as a mentor.
