Mentoring Programs and Professional Development
Mentoring Programs support succession planning and build a leadership pipeline.
- Customized programs match mentors and protégés in a personalized, one-on-one coaching experience
- Formal Programs - Typically developed as one-year sessions that begin with participant selection and mentor training and end with continuous improvement processes, including program evaluation and program revision
- Informal Mentoring Programs - Foster flexibility and support longer-term mentor-protégé relationships
- Provide mentors and protégés with tools, processes, and resources to ensure success
- A blended approach provides a one-year formal program followed by a long-term informal program
Professional Development is skill development and cross-training of potential leadership candidates.
- Programs support cross-training of targeted personnel in preparation for new roles
- Individualized programs developed for specific leadership candidates
