The LAA/Apics Mentoring Program Offers Mentees a Opportunity to Talk Through The Issues

Supply Chain Mentoring Program 2013 Open for Nominations

Mentoring is an excellent way of ensuring that up and coming supply chain managers and logisticians develop the right skills.

The LAA/apics Mentoring Program, now entering its 10th year, offers mentees a great opportunity to talk through the issues they may be facing in their work life and to explore the options available to them in a supportive, non-judgemental environment. They can listen to the experiences of the mentors and determine the right way for them to overcome obstacles in their day-to-day roles and in their career development.

For mentors, the program offers an opportunity to develop important skills – particularly listening, idea facilitation and leadership. It’s also an excellent opportunity to contribute or give-back to Australia’s supply chain industry in a time-efficient manner.

Although the program is supply chain industry-based, participants have varying job descriptions and operate in a variety of sectors. This diversity affords participants the benefit of varied perspectives which enhances and broadens the learning opportunity.

Participants are provided with upfront mentoring training so that they can better manage and optimise their mentoring meetings. A site visit and a structured follow-up session also form part of the program, ensuring that participants have an opportunity to network with the broader group and are deriving benefit from the program.

Mentees in the program can expect accelerated professional development, guidance from an experienced supply chain professional and training on how to get the most out of mentoring sessions. To find out more, please read ‘Being a Mentee’.

Mentors in the supply chain mentoring program receive a number of benefits including 2 half day training sessions delivered by a specialist mentor trainer. To find out more, please read ‘Being a Mentor’.
