Program Overview

Why Get Involved?

The purpose of the PMI Central Iowa Chapter Mentoring program is to foster professional development and advancement in project management by connecting individual mentors and mentees beyond the immediate working environment.

Do you have years of experience managing complex projects, a drive to share your knowledge and want to grow your professional network? Or, are you a new project manager in the PMI Central Iowa Chapter looking to make connections, expand your knowledge and further your career?

If you answered yes to any of the above, this program is the right fit for you!

 

Mentoring is a professional relationship in which an experienced person (the mentor) assists another (the mentee) in developing specific skills and knowledge that will enhance the less-experienced person’s professional and personal growth. We offer two mentoring tracks to our members.

 

Professional Mentoring: This track offers the full mentoring experience over the course of 6 months. After pairings and training from PMI CIC, partners will determine their frequency of meetings and embark on the journey together. While the time commitment is up to the mentoring pair, 1-2 hours per month is recommended to foster successful outcomes.

Career Development Mentoring: This track was designed to provide mentors and mentees a channel specific to growing their professional careers, expand networks, and seek career advancement guidance from professionals in our Chapter. The program lasts 3 months and parings are made twice a year, or more frequently as demand allows.

Registration is now open for both mentoring tracks. Register today to secure your spot!
