Forestry Australia’s mentoring program runs for nine months and is designed to establish connections within the forestry sector by pairing experienced forestry professionals with those who are seeking to evolve their career. Engagement and connection can be in person or online.
The program has been developed around a framework and tool kit of resources which will support participants to ensure effective and sustainable knowledge transfer, skill acquisition and maintaining momentum for all participants.
Some of the key themes explored are:
- Establishing Goals
- Time Management for Life
- Building Networks and Professional Connections
- Values and Ethics in Business
Mentors and mentees are encouraged to invest one hour a month at minimum to meet plus additional time to prepare for each meeting including goal setting, pre-reading, planning and reflection activities.
Anyone can benefit from the offerings of the Forestry Australia Mentoring Program, at any age and at any stage of their career.
