What is Mentoring?

 

The PMINYC Mentoring Program provides mentoring opportunities for all members of our chapter. Mentoring is a mutual sharing of experiences and opinions to create agreed-upon outcomes. This program aims to develop and strengthen project management competencies in line with the PMINYC Chapter goals of servicing member value and professional development. It is a great learning opportunity for both mentors and mentees.

How does it help you?

 

The value partners gain in mentoring depends largely on the goals of the mentoring pair and their professional relationship. Participants may find that their involvement in the program helps to solve complex problems within their work environment, advance career paths, or to grow business.

 

We hope that this program helps to develop habits that will be critical success factors for developing new career opportunities and long-term professional growth.

 

How does it work?

 

The PMINYC Mentoring Program is based on a one-on-one format. Participants in the program are encouraged to spend time sharing challenges, ideas, and perspectives on specific areas of project management for the benefit of their own professional development objectives.

 

Mentors and mentees are paired based on areas of industry, interest, skills, and other similarities. Participation in the Mentoring Program is a rewarding experience, which will further establish your place in our professional and social networking community.

How can I have a successful mentorship? 

 

The value partners gain in mentoring depends largely on the goals of the mentoring pair and their professional relationship. Participants may find that their involvement in the program helps to solve complex problems within their work environment, advance career paths, or to grow business.

 

We hope that this program helps to develop habits that will be critical success factors for developing new career opportunities and long-term professional growth.

 

Am I eligible to apply?  

 

All participants must be members of PMINYC and in good standing. Mentors must be PMP-certified and have maintained their PMP certification for at least the past five years. Mentors have volunteer status within PMINYC and are therefore required to complete a standard Confidentiality Agreement and Conflict of Interest form prior to participation.

 

No certification is required for mentees. Both partners must commit to meet a minimum of once every month for a minimum of six months. Mentors and mentees must mutually agree on a schedule. Meeting more frequently is encouraged, but not required. Please contact mentoring-team@pminyc.org if your situation changes so that you are no longer able to meet the minimum requirements.

 

Thank you for your participation!
