Establishing a Mentoring Program

In some cases, establishing a formal mentoring program may be the best way to support your organization. You’ll need to consider questions that include:

• What do we intend to accomplish through this program?
• How will this program align with other career development opportunities at our institution?
• Who needs to be involved in the creation and implementation of this program?
• What expectations do we have for participants – mentors and mentees?
• How will we measure the success of the program?

The book – Mentoring Programs that Work – provides a framework for designing a mentoring program. Alternatively, Mentoring Programs That Work – A Summary, provides an abbreviated version of the book.
