The Mentoring Program

The goal of the Mentoring Program is to establish, develop, and facilitate positive, enduring, and mutually beneficial mentoring relationships, which allow the junior partner to plan, learn and grow, and which renew and reward the senior partner through encouraging, motivating, and inspiring others.

The objectives of the Program are to:

  • provide the framework for developing mentor-mentee relationships for the purpose of career development
  • develop skills in goal-setting, communication, and feedback
  • foster an environment where mentoring becomes a part of the culture.
 

 

 

The Program is targeted at newly-formed mentor-mentee pairs and consists of four monthly, two hour workshops. The topics of these sessions are:
  • Mentoring in the new Millennium
  • Cultivating and Maintaining the Relationship
  • Communication Skills: Listening, Thoughtful Questioning, Feedback
  • Goal-Setting and Guidance: Mentor as Coach
