Mentorship doesn't always have to look like a formal program.

Sometimes, it can be as simple as sharing what you know, making an introduction, or opening a door to an opportunity.

Think about your own career.

Who helped you get started?
Who shared their experience?
Who opened a door for you?

Now imagine being the person who makes that easier for someone else.

Could you open a door for a job seeker in your industry?

Connect with MentorAbility Alberta to learn how you can support someone on their employment journey. Get started with Mentorability Alberta- https://gatewayassociation.ca/mentorability_ab/

What does meaningful inclusion look like in the workplace?

At the 2025 IndigiTech Destiny Summit, Kara Thorvaldson shared an important reminder:
“They shouldn’t build anything for us without us.”

This message is at the heart of the INDIGItech Destiny Summit Social Impact Report, created by Relish Ideas—one of MentorAbility’s employer partners.

For employers, meaningful inclusion starts with:
• Listening before making assumptions
• Building genuine relationships
• Including diverse perspectives in decision-making
• Avoiding tokenism

Inclusion is not something we create for people. It’s something we build with people.

Read the full report to see how inclusion can transform workplaces.

Tonight, October 15th, we Light It Up! for NDEAM.

Across Canada, landmarks and buildings will glow purple for National Disability Employment Awareness Month, a reminder that inclusive employment belongs at the centre of how we build our workplaces.

This year's theme is Leading Through Change. So as we wear purple and light up our communities, let's treat the purple as a promise. Awareness is where we start. Action, real jobs and real chances, is where it has to lead.

Join us: wear purple, share photos of your community lit up, and tag and to spread the message across the country.
