| The ALPFA Chicago Mentorship Program (ACMP) supports the creation of a learning environment for student members by pairing them with professionals in the workforce. Participation will not only enhance the personal and professional development of ALPFA members, but also increase the morale and satisfaction of these members by fostering dialogue, communication and understanding among ALPFA members, between professionals and students, and across industries and specialties.
For students, the program provides them a forum with which to share ideas, understand the demands and rewards of a professional career, reinforce career choices or explore other career possibilities.
For professionals, the mentorship program is a vehicle for our professional members to learn to develop others through coaching; gain an understanding of the developmental needs of our students and transitional issues they face; and to create networks across all levels. |
