The CARA mentorship program was created in 2013 to supplement the professional development opportunities offered by webinars, workshops, and conferences. Mentees work with their mentors to achieve professional goals they have identified. Mentees are matched with a mentor for an initial period of 4 months and are encouraged to participate in the program more than once to benefit from the many diverse perspectives different mentors provide. Mentors provide mentees with general career advice, expertise in a particular aspect of research administration, insight on developing certain skills beyond the mentee's current role but necessary for advancement, feedback, help setting goals, and/or support to help mentees network and raise their professional profile.
Mentors are available in both French and English and generously volunteer their time to help our members and our profession advance.
Thank you for participating!
