The 2019 Mentor Program coordinated by Meetings & Events Australia (MEA) is closing on Friday 30 May.
This is a national program which provides valuable support to event professionals to develop and finetune their skills. The program has seen many past participants being promoted to senior positions in the events industry and MEA is very proud that it has been able to contribute to them achieving their career goals.
In 2018 MEA tripled the number of participants in the Program that is delivered in every state and territory in Australia. The goal of the program is to up-skill industry professionals to improve the industry's overall competitiveness on the domestic and international stage. The program offers Mentees the opportunity to connect with an experienced ‘matched’ industry representative to discuss their career and future.
Feedback from the 2018 was extremely positive from both Mentors and Mentees and includes a comment from one Mentee:
“I found the mentoring program great and my Mentor was a fantastic mentor for me really helping me focus on my mindset to become more effective in the workplace. He also helped me to work through dealing with difficult personalities. I feel I now tackle situations a little differently thanks to the guidance I received. I wish MEA and future Mentor Program participants every success in the future.”
The 2019 Mentor Program will commence on 1 July and continue through to the 31 December 2019 and MEA is taking expressions of interest from both Mentors and Mentees via this link.
