Women's Mentorship Program Get Involved

Each year the Canadian Co-operative Association requires a number of credit unions across Canada to play host to the women participating in the Women's Mentorship Program. In 2011 the Women's Mentorship Program brought 14 women credit union managers from Africa and Asia to Canada to participate in classroom training sessions in Ottawa hosted by CCA and 10 day hands-on placements in credit unions across the country. 

Host applications for the 2012 Women's Mentorship Program will be posted in January 2012.

Hosting Duties

Each host credit union:

  • shares knowledge and skills with their visiting credit union manager, connecting them to credit union staff, policies and best practices;
  • enables their guest to job shadow staff, meet members and observe day-to-day credit union operations;
  • makes their guest feel at home - greeting them upon arrival and introducing them to people, places and events in the community;
  • billets their guest in the home of a credit union board member or employee;
  • and covers the cost of their own staff time and lunches (host families provide breakfast and dinner).

Thank you to our 2011 host credit unions!
