Update Information

Project Management Institute

.:: Last Update ::February 24, 2009::.
Within PMI, chapters and specific interest groups/colleges provide opportunities for personal and professional growth and skill development for their membership. A mentoring program (traditional face-to-face or virtual/electronic type) is one such vehicle used to deliver that opportunity.

Our program's mission is to use a collaborative community to promote individual growth and foster relationships among project managers.

The WiPM eMentoring Program (eMP) facilitates the establishment of one-on-one electronic mentoring relationships among members of the WiPM SIG through our eMentoring support services.

The eMP supports WiPM's mission of fostering and developing the diverse roles our members perform worldwide. We hope you join us in carrying this mission forward.

The Application Process is now open for Mentors and Mentees!

Calling Mentors and Mentees!

Looking for an opportunity to revitalize and continue to grow as a project management professional?

The WiPM eMentoring Program (eMP) Team is looking for:

  • Mentors that are open to learning from their mentees, giving mentors an opportunity to gain new and diverse project management perspectives that ignite new, fresh approaches to the challenges they face, and/or acquiring other or new skills;
  • Mentors that find that mentoring others provide them with a break from their busy lives and a chance to pave the way for someone else - their unique way of making a difference in someone else's life;
  • Mentors that find it enjoyable to work with mentees that are open to learning and mentees that value what they have to say, validating their past experiences, knowledge, and accomplishments;
  • Mentees that would value the coaching and advice of a mentor to meet meaningful goals and objectives, ultimately saving the mentee time, money, and sanity;
  • Mentees that hunger self-improvement, are teachable, take initiative and are willing and able to honor the commitments made with their mentors;
  • Mentees that are willing to learn new things, obtain another perspective, and be responsive to suggestions.

If you:

  • Are a PMI and WiPM member in good standing;
  • Meet the Eligibility, Suitability Criteria and Expectations for mentors or mentees as stated in the Orientation Guide
  • Are open to establishing a relationship with someone over email; and
  • Can mentor or need mentoring for a minimum of six (6) months and can interact with your mentee or mentor at least twice a month…
