Newly Expanded Mentoring Program!
This year, the Mentoring Program has expanded to offer a variety of mentoring relationships at all stages of your career – whether you are a student or just considering a career in HR, if you are in your first HR position, or if you are a senior HR professional interested in working towards an executive or more specialized role.
Regardless of your current situation, if you are a Human Resources Professional seeking an opportunity to learn new skills or strengthen your current skills, the HRPA Mentoring Program offers an excellent way to meet this need. For those interested in acting as mentors, the program provides a real sense of satisfaction, knowing that you have contributed to the development of a colleague and helped strengthen the Ottawa Human Resources community. Both Protégés and Mentors will earn recertification points.
