Certified Staff: Consider Welcoming and Supporting New Staff by Being a 2021-22 Mentor

As a mentor, you share your time and welcome and support new staff by building their capacity as they join our Heartland AEA team. Mentoring is a personally and professionally fulfilling experience that also helps our agency retain great employees. Our Heartland AEA Mentoring Guide is available here for your review. Note that this program is for mentors and mentees who are Certified Union staff members.  
  

• Mentors of first-year staff provide 20 hours of one-on-one coaching and support for their mentee, are provided with mentorship training and in return will receive a $1,300 (gross) payment and the personal satisfaction of knowing that they’ve made a difference in the career of the mentee.   
 
• Mentors of second-year staff provide 15 hours of one-on-one coaching and support for their mentee, are provided with mentorship training and in return will receive a $1,000 (gross) payment and the personal satisfaction of knowing that they’ve made a difference in the career of the mentee. 


  
 

It’s easy to sign up to be considered for a match with a first or second-year staff member! Please complete the online Mentoring Application by April 16, 2021. If you are a mentor this year and are interested in mentoring again, you need to complete the Mentoring Application to be considered as a mentor again in 2021-22.    

After receiving applications, more information will be provided to selected mentors for next year’s Mentoring Program.
