MENtORSHIP PROGRAM
The Mentorship Program is an aspirational program that aims to expand membership to include organisations that otherwise may not be able to enjoy the support and benefits provided by the CTO.
The mentorship relationship is designed to provide a level of support mutually agreed upon by both parties.
The goal is to provide advice and guidance, greater understanding of the sector, and ultimately to build a safe and supportive relationship that promotes stability and growth.
The program seeks to strengthen our sector and provide growth and leadership opportunities to both mentors and mentees.
If you have any questions about this initiative, please do not hesitate to reach out for a discussion.
