Newly-minted PMP Looking for Shadowing or Apprenticeships
Anonymous
As a newly minted PMP (yay!), does anyone know of any fully remote shadowing or apprenticeship programs? I’m looking to put into practice all of my PMI learnings under a seasoned Project Manager’s structured guidance. Thank you! Saving Changes...
I'd suspect your better bet will be in person shadowing as I can see stakeholders raising confidentiality concerns in involving someone who is not part of the delivering or consuming organization.
Check with your local PMI Chapter, either networking with members to see if anyone has interest in helping you out, or seeing if there is a major event or program the Chapter is organizing where you could work with a seasoned PM.

No worries, Rami - I just have more spare time to keep an eye out for new discussion threads :-)
Unlikely that we'd end up disagreeing as we each have specific domains which we know a lot more about so unless there's a topics with which we are both equally confident to have opposing views, I doubt we'll do so...
Thank you, Rami!
Once my membership goes through, I will most definitely ask about their mentorship program.

You're welcome, Jane. You can engage with them and check about the program even before your membership goes through. I am sure they will be happy to help. Good Luck - Cheers!
