Mentoring Program

The 2025 Mentoring Program will be free for PMI Tasmania Chapter members.

​

Expressions of Interest are currently being sought for Mentors and Mentees for the 2025 Mentoring Program.  The 2025 Program will kick off in the new year with a "speed dating" style session to match Mentors with Mentees.  These pairs will go through a matching process and will then hold their initial meetings to set their goals for the year.  

​

​

The Mentoring Program provides an opportunity for Mentees to enhance professional skills and to enjoy working collaboratively with a supportive mentor to achieve your goals. It is also an opportunity for mentors to give back to the profession and to share experience and knowledge with less experienced project managers, or those taking on new and different challenges.

​

How does it work?

  • Matching of Mentors and Mentees is based on individual preferences and overlaps in needs and capabilities.

  • You will complete an assessment to help us understand your needs and preferences.

  • If you prefer to match with someone who lives in your region, that will be considered in the matching process.

  • Mentees can only have one program Mentor.

  • Mentors can have multiple Mentees but must meet with them separately.

  • A member can be a Mentor and Mentee at the same time, e.g. be mentored by another mentor and provide mentoring to another member.

  • You don’t have to be a senior or older person to be a Mentor, we are looking for diverse skills, experience and backgrounds.

  • The program facilitates further matches at other times, subject to the availability of Mentors.

 

Timeline

Early 2025:

  • Our mentoring year typically kicks off with an online “mentoring speed dating” session where prospective Mentors and Mentees meet for the first time. and nominate their preferred Mentoring Partner.

  • This session, along with the information submitted by Mentors and Mentees, is then used to match Mentors with Mentees.

​

Throughout the Year:

  • Mentors and Mentees agree their goals and programs and commence meeting regularly (recommended at least monthly).

​

Late 2025:

  • We celebrate the year’s successes with Mentors and Mentees presenting on their shared journeys.

​

And beyond:

  • Mentors and Mentees can continue their relationship beyond this year by mutual agreement.

Benefits of the Mentoring Program

Mentoring is based on encouragement, constructive comments, openness, mutual trust, respect and willingness to learn and share. It is also a serious commitment for mentors who give their time to mentees.

​

Mentoring has become an increasingly popular method of developing professional skills and knowledge. Benefits of mentoring include:

  1. Opportunity for mentees to enhance project management and people skills.

  2. Opportunity for both mentors and mentees to learn about project management approaches in other companies, industries and countries.

  3. An accountability framework for engaging with professional goals.

  4. PDUs can be claimed by mentors and mentees.

  5. Just in time support: Mentees receive information and support when they need it.

  6. Relevance: work issues can be discussed and progressed.

  7. Satisfaction for mentors when they see mentees achieving their goals.

  8. Issues discussed during mentoring meetings are strictly confidential.
