Program Introduction
Welcome to the AMI 2021 mentoring program!
Thank you for your support of our up and coming marketers – our program is designed to help early career marketers shine. We aim to provide support for our mentees career goals through mentoring along with opportunities to network and access career advice. We also want to ensure that you, as a mentor, gain insight into the next generation of marketers, expand your industry contacts and support your professional development.
The Matching Process
The Emerging Marketers Committees in each state review both mentor and mentee applications to determine the suitability of the partnerships. Every attempt is made to ensure the partnership is mutually beneficial to both the mentee and mentor.
Mentees are early career marketers in the AMI community who are passionate about learning more about the marketing profession and furthering their careers.
Each mentoring partnership will be different. Mentees can learn from any mentor, as each person will have a different perspective on the industry.
On the completion of the program, it is up to the discretion of the individuals in the partnership if they wish to maintain contact.
Each month we highlight a discussion topic. The purpose of each topic is to provide a focus for the conversation with your mentor. The flow of topics has been structured to build on the previous topic and a suite of reference materials and activities is provided to support the conversation.
While the topics are not mandatory to complete the earlier topics are designed to help get to know each other and give more insights into who you are, the latter topics focus on more intangible aspects of the workplace and your career.
