Careers and Mentoring Programme & Workshops

We invite CIIPA members, through the Careers and Mentoring programme, to use your wealth of experience to help young accountants launch their careers. In addition to sharing your creativity, experience and knowledge; mentors will also be able to develop coaching and leadership skills by attending free training workshops designed for volunteer mentors.

The primary objective is to prepare volunteers for the realities of the mentoring experience and to set the stage for the mentors' relationships with their students.

All volunteer mentors are required to attend three, 2-hour workshops:

Workshop I: The Mentoring Experience

• Understand the role of a mentor and develop a deeper understanding of the expectations of that role
  
• Understand yourself and your ability to relate well to others
• Understand what is expected of you in this mentoring role
