Mentorship Handbook
Mentorship Code of Conduct
ABOUT
This Mentorship Program is sponsored by the PMI Netherlands Chapter and designed to enhance the professional experience and development of its participants. The program is aimed at providing opportunities for junior project managers (Mentees) to learn from senior project management professionals (Mentors) in a five-month engagement program. Participation is strictly voluntary and without financial compensation.
We are proud to announce that starting April 2022, the PMI NL Mentorship Program has entered into a partnership agreement with Threon. This collaboration contributes PM content & workshops, PDU and certification training, and topic-specific knowledge sharing along with sponsorship funds that will increase our value-add to Chapter members and program participants.
