Mentorship Program

CaSPR Mentorship Program

 

CaSPR’s Mentorship Program has been developed to offer new and seasoned recruiters the opportunity to: share best practices, offer advice, develop fresh ideas and provide guidance to one another.

It allows the opportunity to showcase one of CaSPR’s greatest benefits: Collegiality.

The Mentor/Mentee introduction will be made via email by the Mentorship Program Lead: Carly Cox
The program mentor/mentee relationship will be formally part of the program for the membership year (Jan-Dec). Although, we do hope the relationship continues informally past the term!

Thank you for participating in the program and we hope you find value in it!
