Mentorship Program
ITS FINALLY HERE – THE STUDENT SECTION MENTORSHIP PROGRAM IS READY FOR YOU!
After much talk of offering a mentoring program, we are finally prepared and excited to begin this opportunity. Students and new professionals often learn about careers objectively, without getting a taste of what the job is actually like. Additionally, students lack in relationships with professionals that offer a safe place to ask those “dumb questions� or more specific questions about a career or professional role.
PROFESSIONALS:
Students and new professionals are the future of the family field that you have worked so hard to build. If you are at all interested in contributing to the future of your specific area of work, please follow the link below to a brief online survey. This survey will only take you five minutes, but will provide MCFR with a wealth of knowledge about how to support students as they transition into their future profession. In addition, your feedback will allow us to better track our professional community. We, at MCFR, hope this e-mail is the beginning of an exciting opportunity for personal growth as you may know that most mentors reflect that they benefited equally from the interaction as the mentee. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=UgOn9_2fVYjeL47HJwBlrYhw_3d_3d
STUDENTS/NEW PROFESSIONALS:
Do you wish you could get an inside look at a particular career you have been thinking about? Do you ever want to just chat with a professional about the field and/or your future but do not feel comfortable speaking to your advisor in this way? Are you a professional changing or thinking of changing career paths, but wish you could learn more? If you relate to any of these questions or are simply intrigued by the idea of a mentorship relationship with a professional in the family field, please follow the link below to complete a brief online survey. This survey will help not only match you with an appropriate professional based on your needs and interests, but will also help us improve the mentorship program for everyone. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=V8tnz_2fmrkvH421rOwfCPVA_3d_3d
THE STUDENT SECTION OF MCFR NEEDS YOUR HELP TO BECOME A MORE SUPPORTIVE RESOURCE FOR STUDENTS AND NEW PROFESSIONALS IN THE FAMILY FIELD.
