This week's founder feature is on the mission to support 1 million people to connect their passion to their career through helping organizations to create effective mentorship programs.
FcF: Tell us about yourself?
Chantal: At my core, I’m a builder- of people, businesses, and community. This started with my own building in leaving home (Bermuda) to come to Saint Mary’s University to study Psychology, Business, and Human Resources. Following university, I made Nova Scotia my home and began supporting leaders in the private and public sector as a Consultant. This led to a role with a North American technology company, where I led the development and execution of their human capital strategy for four years as the company tripled in size across North America. After reconnecting with my passion of helping others find careers that they love in 2015, I started the journey to what would become EnPoint.
I’m a believer in experiential learning and an active advocate for women and mentorship and love when I get to speak on these topics! Feel free to check out one of my talks and let me know your thoughts! In the community I co-chair the Mentorship Committee for Women in Communications and Technology Atlantic Cda, and serve on the Unity Charity board, the Halifax Chamber of Commerce WorkForce Taskforce, and the Program Advisory Council for Techsploration.
FcF: What is EnPoint?
Chantal: EnPoint exists to help people connect their passion to their career- we’re on a mission to support 1 million people do just that. We believe people should love what they do and live a career that is “on point”. We also know this is hard work and don’t think people need to do this alone.
Mentorship helps people achieve career goals, build confidence, and establish valuable connections, but mentorship programs can be overwhelming to build and implement. That’s why we’ve created an easy-to-use, customizable and automated platform that helps clients create and scale high-impact mentorship programs. We help universities/colleges, non-profits, and employers build mentorship programs that achieve their objectives with minimal administrative time and measurable outcomes. We also provide Mentorship Program Design and consulting services to help them create their programs with intentional design from the beginning!
We work with clients such as the Nova Scotia Community College, YWCA Halifax, the Black Business Initiative, Women in Communications and Technology, and the award-winning Atlantic Canada Study and Stay™ program with EduNova. In 3 years, we have supported 20,000+ individuals and worked with 30+ organizations to help their ‘people’ build the confidence, skills, and connections to be successful for many years to come.
