What is the mentorship program?
The mentorship program connects current students considering a career in investment management and early-career professionals in the CFA Program with seasoned investment professionals who are CFA charterholders.
It does not provide job specific training or placement opportunities. Rather, it offers a framework to enable professional growth and expand networks.
What are the benefits of the program?
For mentees, the program enables opportunities to learn about career paths, gain new perspectives on the industry, and obtain long-term skill development advice from more seasoned professionals.
For mentors, the program provides a good opportunity to cultivate coaching, communication and leadership skills that are portable across one’s career. It also affords a chance to give back to the investment community and to make a positive impact on the next generation of professionals within a structured framework, and over a defined period.
What is my time commitment?
Mentors and mentees should meet 4-6 times during the program’s duration.
There will also be mentor-specific programming, including social events and career-building events.
