MENTORING PROGRAM GOES PROVINCIAL
In October 2017, our mentoring program expanded to all 10 of our branches, making it a province-wide service. Members from across Alberta now have access to our online matching database, allowing them to connect with mentors or mentees in their region. We also launched distance mentoring. If a local match isn’t available, members can easily connect with professionals from another community—no travel required. Conversations take place via phone, email, FaceTime or Skype— whatever technology works best for each matched pair. As part of the program expansion, we created a series of online orientation videos, allowing members to access mandatory training without even leaving home. Previously, new participants had to attend an in-person orientation session, which was only available to Edmonton and Calgary members. QUICK FACT Since the program’s 2005 launch, more than 1,500 APEGA members have been matched. Program Participation
