EIANZ’s Mentoring Program connects experienced environmental practitioners with student and early career mentees seeking to further their professional development. The program is open to practitioners of all experience levels.

Mentoring is free for EIANZ members participating as mentees and for all mentors. Non-members can participate as mentees for a fee.

The Mentoring Program is run at a Divisional and Chapter level. Prospective mentors and mentees will be invited to complete a mentoring pairing survey, which will be used by EIANZ to match partners according to areas of interest, experience and motivations for joining the mentoring program.
