On behalf of Canada Mongolia Chamber of Commerce (CMCC) team, I would like to thank Mr. Mehmet Durmus, CEO of the Turkish Canadian Chamber of Commerce and Ms. Medina Peco, President of the Association of Balkan Canadians for inviting us to partner on this event! We are strong believers in promoting our graduates and building opportunities for the future.

In 2014, CMCC created a Mentorship Program for current and new graduates. Since June 2014, we've been working with students/graduates in sectors such as construction, mining, agriculture/food & international development for cultural exchanges between Canada and Mongolia. Thereby, helping our Mentees to make advancements in their careers as well as providing guidance during their studies in Canada.
