SIOP Practitioner Mentoring Program Launch

The SIOP Career and Professional Development for Practitioners Committee is proud to launch a new SIOP Practitioner Mentoring Program for 2021. This new mentoring program matches practitioners earlier in their careers with more experienced practitioners with the goal of accelerating career growth and development of those being mentored. The program is open to all SIOP members working in practice settings. If you would like to serve as a mentor or work with a mentor, consider applying.

Key points about the program:

• The mentoring program is pair based, with one mentor working with one protégé (different than the Speed Mentoring that the committee also offers in April).
• The program is 10 months in duration, kicking off in March and concluding in December.
• Participants should plan on meeting (virtually) for about 2 hours per month.
• Prospective protégés need to be employed in the field of I-O psychology and preferably in their current role for at least 6 months.
• Prospective mentors should have at least 5 years of professional experience in the field.
• Participants will be matched together by the committee based on their applications.

The application deadline is February 17, 2021. More information and links to the applications can be found on the SIOP Practitioner Mentoring Program page.
