Since launching Elo in November 2018, we’ve attracted more than 2,400 mentors and mentees from 9 organizations, including Université du Québec à Montréal, l’Ordre des CRHA, the City of Montreal, CBC Media Solutions, Université Laval and Hautes Études Commerciales. Chosen for its accessibility and ease of use, Elo helps these organizations’ members, students, and employees grow professionally, thanks to its highly versatile mentoring program.
