20th Annual Mentor-Protégé Program

Each year our chapter offers this award winning program to current San Diego chapter members, and we're excited to celebrate our program's 20TH ANNIVERSARY this year!

Through a creative "speed dating" process, we pair volunteer mentors with interested protégés over a six month semi-structure program. The program provides opportunities for all ATD members, from rookies to veterans, to learn, develop skills, and network in a supportive environment. BOTH the mentor and protege participants share they learn new things and build their professional network.  

A mentor can assist in many ways including:

• Offer guidance and resources on their ares of expertise
• Offer connections to colleagues with additional expertise
• Provide support and encouragement in pursing goals
• Help establish professional networking
  

Overall, we find that the more focused the protege is on their goals, the more effective the process is for both participants.
