What is the Mentor Program?
The GCNA Mentor Program connects team members who have specific skills and knowledge (mentors) with team members (mentees) who want to achieve similar skills or knowledge and have the desire to grow professionally. Mentoring relationships should focus on mentee skill development, goal setting and career planning, problem solving and networking. Mentors and mentees share their values and goals in a mutually respectful, supportive way which leads to a more enriched life for both.
