PMI Phoenix Chapter Mentoring Program

Mentees have the possibility of engaging with their mentor for a few months, in an on-demand unstructured setting, in order to reach specific personal and professional goals. Examples include: getting a resume review, reviewing your LinkedIn profile, conducting a mock job interview, career advice, creating an individual development plan, and gaining insights and recommendations on professional certifications to enhance your skillset.
Qualifications: active chapter membership in good standing.
Format: unstructured and on-demand, offered short-term, typically less than 2 months

Are you new to the the greater Phoenix area? We have an exciting new comer mentorship program and can connect you with another PMIPHX member and help welcome you to the area! Examples include: inviting you to attend chapter meetings and webinars with your mentor, attending in-person meetings together (so you are not going alone), introducing you to other chapter members and members of the board, introducing you to local connections on LinkedIn, and essentially having a local project management professional contact !

The first sets the expectations for each individual week; the latter allows the chapter to gain feedback to make the program better.
