What is the CPA Australia Mentoring Program?
The CPA Australia Mentoring Program is an eight-month program that pairs a suitable mentor and a mentee in a fantastic learning and development experience.
The program is designed to:
- support mentees in enhancing existing and developing new skills to support them in their career
- help mentees further develop their skills and benefit from an experienced member's knowledge, guidance and insights
- provide mentors the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to a fellow member's career, share their skills and experience and give back to the profession
- capitalise on the existing skills and knowledge within CPA Australia membership to grow the potential of our future leaders.
