GET INVOLVED
Mentoring is one of the foundations of the development of individuals both professionally and personally. The process enriches both the mentor and the mentee and often forms rewarding long lasting bonds and relationships.
The contribution from a mentor can have an enormous impact on the development of less experienced professionals and by extension create a legacy to our industry.While the reasons may vary, most professionals will find need for a mentor at many stages throughout their career.
Mentees seeking career and related personal development advice benefit by accessing not only their mentor but also their wider network. This can be an invaluable resource to help provide both direction and focus to your development within the industry. Our program will pair you with the most appropriate mentor to fulfil your career development needs and we look forward to your enrolment in this year’s program.
