Vietnamese Youth and Professionals Mentorship Program

Chương trình Mentorship Thanh niên và Chuyên gia Việt

The Vietnamese Youth and Professionals Mentorship Program (“VYPMP”) was founded in 2012 with the vision to allow Vietnamese Canadian youth to shadow and learn from already successful Vietnamese Canadian industry professionals.

VYPMP’s purpose is to shed light on all of the success that has happened thus far to other Vietnamese Canadian adults who have chosen to complete their education and build a worthwhile career. This program is to emphasize the value of education and to encourage youth to avidly continue in order to achieve their future goals. The mentor-mentee partnerships are created between Vietnamese Canadian youth (ages 15-18) and successful Vietnamese Canadian industry professionals with 5 to 10 years of experience. The intent is to foster a Big Brother/Big Sister-like relationship where mentors can guide, share experiences and stories, and answer career related as well as “growing up Vietnamese” specific questions that sometimes…only another Vietnamese Canadian can answer.
