Develop professional relationships through mentoring
Highlights
Mentoring matters!
Mentoring partnerships can be mutually beneficial and rewarding – on both professional and personal levels.
- Both partners can improve their communication skills, learn new ways of thinking, and, ultimately, advance their careers.
- Mentors can develop leadership skills and gain a personal sense of satisfaction from knowing that they've helped someone.
- Mentees can expand their knowledge and skills, gain valuable advice from a more experienced person, and build their professional networks.
The purpose of the ACS Mentoring Program is to provide an opportunity for members to help members; to connect individuals with those seeking advice and guidance to develop their careers.
Mentoring relationships can be mutual or two-way, with each person being the mentor and mentee of the other person. Alternatively, they can be one way only, although an individual may have their own mentor while also acting as a mentor for others at the same time.
