Are you seeking to elevate your professional game, to position your career for growth, and/or wrestling with a complex challenge on the job? Or perhaps you are an established project management practitioner who sees the virtue in sharing your expertise and experience with an emerging peer.

Focus & Objective

IT'S YOUR CALL

You define the nature of the engagement. Seeking to build a bridge to the next stage of your career? Hoping to beef-up your project planning chops? Or perhaps you are diving into a large project in the near term and would appreciate a sounding-board for the stretch? Mentee and Mentor establish the framework for the relationship.

Structure/Expectations

As every mentorship pairing is unique, we encourage mentor and mentee to establish the meeting approach, frequency, and communication preferences that best fit your needs and schedule. Our program guidelines

• Duration & Frequency: We recommend an engagement period of 3-6 months. You establish a frequency and manner that makes sense to you. Bear in mind, four hours a month is a strong learning target and aligns with your PDU earning potential of 24 units over a 6-month stretch.
• PDU opportunity: Both mentor and mentee can earn up to 24 PDUs—8 Technical, 8 Leadership, and 8 Strategic.
• Goals: What are you looking to achieve? We encourage pairings to define clear goals for the engagement. The mentee is encouraged to submit occasional progress reports as well.
• Mentee Eligibility: Any Delaware Valley Chapter member in good standing.
• Mentor Eligibility: A Delaware Valley Chapter member in good standing, typically with 7+ years of project management experience. Most importantly, a desire to share wisdom.
