We survey mentors and protégés throughout every stage of the mentorship intake. In each intake, an average of over 90% of respondents report that they are very satisfied with the results and benefits received from this program.

We have seen former protégés who participate again as mentors as well as mentors who return for subsequent sessions.

That decision is entirely between you and your mentorship partner. Many pairs have reported that their mentorship experience continues past the official program end date. Pairs can choose to officially extend their pairing into the next intake, to earn extra PDUs. Others don't necessarily have mentorship meetings after the program but remain in regular contact in case issues crop up. Do what feels right for you and your partner.

The Mentorship team does not take geographic location into account when we produce the final pairings. Here's why:

During the Matching Workshop, the conversations you may have with each potential partner should give you a good idea whether you can see yourself paired with that person or not.  We assume that the partner shortlists you submit to us after meeting everyone is therefore made inclusive of any geographic considerations.
If geography is a very important criterion for you, it must be discussed with every single potential partner you consider working with. You have at least 10 minutes with each partner, so we hope that will help you decide.

After the Matching Workshop, you will submit a preferred partner shortlist in which you are asked to rank your top 5. These are the people that we will try our best to match to you assuming they agree to partner with you as well.

You are also asked to list any and all persons that you do not want to be paired with. Under no circumstances we would match you with any people you list here.

Anyone else not mentioned in these two categories will be assumed to be 'okay' matches (in other words, we assume you wouldn't mind partnering with them if your top 5 were not available).

While chances are very high that you may find a partner whom you can work with, the pairing is hard to guarantee. Factors such as geography, scarcity of available mentors, scoring results during the ranking process, and schedule conflicts may mean that you may not find a partner suitable for you during the Matching Workshop.

Should this turn out to be the case for you, rest assured that you will be placed high on the wait list for the following intake of the Mentorship Program.

Your name will be automatically prioritized on the waitlist for the following intake. If you know a PMP-certified chapter member whom you feel would make a great mentor, you could recommend the program to those colleagues. It will improve your chances (and others) of getting paired in subsequent intakes.

Accepted participants will typically be notified at least 1 week prior to the Matching Workshop. It is important to attend the Matching Workshop in case you are accepted into the program.

The number of mentor volunteers (and the number of protégés each agrees to take on in a single intake) greatly influences the number of protégés that can be accepted into that intake.

You could earn up to 6 PDUs for attending Mentorship meetings and up to 15 (Category 3) PDUs for spending at least 16 hours in dedicated mentor-protégé sessions. For a full account of PDUs available, read the Mentorship Program Overview.

The chapter offers multiple intakes each year, with each session lasting approximately 3 to 4 months. During this time, participants are required to attend the mandatory 2-hour matching workshop in the first month plus meet the time commitment required by the individual mentorship partners (as determined by the partner themselves).

Previous mentorship pairs reported a typical meeting schedule at least 2 hours every 2 weeks, with email or phone correspondence in between. Some met for a few hours on a monthly basis. Mentor alumni have recommended meeting as often as it is useful for the protégé and as is feasible for both parties.
