Unleash Your Potential with Personalized Mentorship
Are you ready to take the next step in your artistic career? Our One-on-One Professional Mentorship Program is designed for aspiring professionals aged 19-29 who are eager to grow in their chosen creative field, no matter the discipline. This is your opportunity to forge a transformative relationship with a mentor handpicked by you to help you achieve your dreams.
Tailored to Your Ambitions
Following the mentee’s lead together you and your mentor will co-create a flexible plan that fits your goals and interests, working from your program proposal with the assistance of the program manager.
Program Opportunities:
- Collaborative Project Work: Engage with your mentor in meaningful projects that align with your career aspirations.
- Career Goal Setting: Define and work towards professional milestones with your mentor’s guidance.
- Skill Development: Acquire and refine specific skills relevant to your artistry and career.
- Career Decision Support: Get advice and insights to make informed career choices.
- Shadowing Opportunities: Experience the day-to-day workings of your mentor’s professional life.
- Industry Connections: Connect with industry professionals and expand your professional circle.
- Professional Development: Access free workshops with Creative Manitoba and prioritize your development with your mentor’s guidance.
Program Design
Shaping your own program, you can explore the aspects of your field that most excite you. Whether it’s focusing on a particular project, developing specific skills, or making key industry connections – your path is in your hands. Mentorship isn’t just about learning; it’s about becoming an independent professional, gaining hands-on experience and building a relationship with someone you can rely on!
Participate in cross-disciplinary connection events: the kick off orientation night, mentee connect nights, Creative Entrepreneurship day and final celebration evening. You’ll start strong with an initial setup session with the Program Manager to establish your mentorship plan, and receive personalized support with a one-on-one mid program check in with the Program Director.
