Mentorship Program - CPHR NL

Summary

The Mentorship Program is a CPHR NL member’s only benefit. Its purpose is to match HR mentees with mentors with a single purpose in mind–supporting their professional development and career growth in a meaningful way. It is not a job search program.

The Mentorship Program length is 7 months, with a minimum expectation and requirement of meeting once per month for one hour in length. This structured mentorship relationship will qualify for 1 CPD point per hour, to a maximum of 25 CPD hours over a three-year period.
