Corporate and Executive Mentoring Programs are a powerful means of cultivating individual's skills throughout an organization. The PMI IT & Telecom SIG Mentoring Program is directed toward improving project management professionalism by providing mentoring support to individual members, organizations, and businesses around the globe.
This is certainly an exciting time for Mentoring Programs, as it is a self-rewarding experience to be able to be apart of a professional social network community which may help solve complex problems within your work environment, help advance your career path, help build your business, lead you to new prospects, allow you to establish a long term coaching relationship, or guidance on becoming a PMP.
The mentoring program is designed as a one-on-one coaching, pairing Mentors and Protégés or Coaches and Protégés based on their areas of interest and other information provided to the Mentoring Program Manager. Once Mentors and Protégés have been paired, it is their mutual responsibility to determine a meeting schedule and a development plan for working together.
All Participants (Mentors/Protégé's) who enroll in the PMI IT&T SIG's Mentoring Program can now potentially earn up to 10 PDU's per year. PMI has approved that participants in the Mentoring Program earn 2 PDU's per each hour they are engaged in the mentoring process, with a maximum of 10 PDU's per year. That is a total of 30 PDU's in a given 3 year cycle!
