CDAA National Mentor Program

CDAA
National Mentor Program
2015
Together we can succeed
As an industry association we strive to support our
members and our industry in as many ways as possible.
One such way we have achieved this in Victoria is
through the annual mentoring program. This program
has been a resounding success year on year and has seen
substantial benefits for our members; whether as a
mentor or a mentee the feedback from previous
participants has identified the establishment of strong
friendships, development of professional alliances and a
large degree of knowledge transfer (for both the mentor
and mentee!)
Globally mentor programs are seen as a great
opportunity for all individuals involved with possible
outcomes including:


Working in partnership with like-minded
professionals can assist in addressing issues that

A professional partnership is beneficial for both
a mentor and mentee. Challenges can be
addressed together resulting in benefits for both
parties.
Trusting & private environment
The mentee is provided with a full program resource that helps
them plan what they want to get from the program. The
mentee is solely responsible for the planning of the program
and will work with the mentor to schedule. As an association,
we facilitate your partnerships however we trust in your
professional relationship and do not get involved unless we are
asked to support in some way.
Mentee me!
Becoming a mentee is easy and there is an extensive matching
process that is undertaken by the facilitators. The cost to a
mentee for the year is $145 however the small investment is
quickly returned in such a program.
Full Support
The program is supported through a hierarchy of support
representatives for both the mentors and mentees. The program
has a number of pre-determined milestones and stages which
are used to both assess the program as well as ensure that both
the mentor and mentee are progressing throughout the program
as planned. On call support is available and remains
confidential throughout all stages of the program.
