GROWING CAREERS ONE INTRODUCTION AT A TIME
The IPRA Pro Connect Mentorship Program features a unique and multi-tiered approach including early career, mid-level career and seasoned/retired professionals, placing a professional from each level in a three-part mentoring team. Participants are encouraged to apply from all domains within the parks and recreation field. This program will benefit all professionals seeking to enhance their careers.
A task force will review all applications and create up to 26 mentor teams, depending on the number of applicants, taking into consideration compatible characteristics and geographic location. A series of five meet-up events will be scheduled to provide each mentor team time to build relationships and share experiences. Attendance at all five events is mandatory in order to participate in the program.
