Forestry Australia CEO Jacquie Martin said the program was a great opportunity to super-charge forestry careers.
“The relationship between a mentor and mentee is a powerful thing,” Ms Martin said. “It has the ability to change, shape and motivate both individuals and entire sectors, and that’s exactly what Forestry Australia’s Mentor Program is all about.
“The program is carefully designed to pair experienced forestry professionals with those who are seeking to evolve their career in our exciting sector. Over nine months, mentees will expand their forestry and professional skill sets, grow their networks and enhance their careers.
“The program has been developed around a framework and tool kit of resources which support participants to set career and development goals; teach time management for life, values and business ethics, forestry skills gap analysis and career planning.
“It’s also an excellent opportunity for experienced professionals to give back to the sector by investing their time and sharing their experience with the next generation of forest scientists and forest managers.
“I encourage anyone who is passionate about Australia’s forestry sector and sustainable forest management to join the program.”
Applications for the Mentor Program are open now, and close on February 4.
It is free for Forestry Australia members, and if you’re not a member it’s easy to join here
