“Each year, the experience of being a mentor is an opportunity for us to share our values, our vision of the workplace, as well as our collective and individual experiences. It is always gratifying to see the trainees invest themselves seriously in the tasks assigned to them, and satisfying to make them discover each day a little something that will perhaps ignite the little spark and make a difference in their personal journey, school and later professional. ”
