Mentoring & Professional Development

Mentoring and sponsorship involve more experienced individuals assisting others with personal and professional development. Staff mentoring can take the form of a dyad model or a developmental network with multiple mentoring relationships, both formal and informal, sometimes expanding beyond the organization. Professional development includes structured opportunities to nurture staff success and professional growth. Mentorship and sponsorship are associated with enhanced career development, progression, and satisfaction. Outcomes include an improved sense of confidence and increased professional success.
