The CPA Australia Mentoring Program is an eight-month program that pairs suitable mentors and mentees in a fantastic learning and development experience.
The initiative aims to:
- help mentees build professional connections and benefit from an experienced member’s knowledge and insights
- provide mentors the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to a fellow member’s career, 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.
Applications for the 2020 Mentoring Program are now closed.
