Social Capital and Mentoring: Rethinking Mentoring with a Decolonized Perspective
Full text linkMentoring programs that provide newcomers with information about Canadian work norms and culture have the potential to positively impact the integration of skilled immigrants into the Canadian lab our market. Past research on immigrant integration has highlighted the benefits immigrants receive from mentorship programs, such as support, empathy, encouragement, counseling and friendship, collegiality, and career satisfaction. Less is known about the benefits that mentors receive from these programs. This highlights a crucial gap in understanding the reciprocal benefits of mentorship and its impacts on mentors. This paper shares findings from a research study on “Facilitators and Barriers to Mentorship Programs for Newcomers to Canada” to highlight the benefits mentors gain in the form of social capital and, in doing so, to emphasize the need to decolonize existing mentorship programs and incorporate Indigenous values in mentorship practices. A decolonizing agenda is crucial to address historical and ongoing systemic inequities and to promote inclusive and equitable mentorship practices
