AIPM Mentoring Program 2023

 AIPM, the Australian Institute of Project Management provides a Mentoring Program, which engages the country’s leading project managers of today, to support and develop the project management professionals of tomorrow, assisting them in advancing their professional certification, growing in their careers and becoming fit for senior management and technical leadership roles.

This program runs for nine months, starting from 15 February 2023. Applications open on 21 November 2022 and will be accepted until close of business Friday 16 December 2022.

A mentor is a volunteer and pays no fee to engage in the Mentoring Program.

A mentee who is an employee of a relevant AIPM Organizational Partner doesn’t need to pay a registration fee, but they have to be nominated to AIPM by their employer.

When nominated, the Mentee will be sent a link to complete an individual application.

A mentee who applies as an individual (not within the Organizational Partner Program) has to pay $380 inclusive of GST, which helps to cover the program running cost.

You need to complete this payment before your application will be accepted, and you are matched to a mentor.

We advise you to make this payment before you complete your application, as payment proof is necessary for the application form.

 

To be kept in mind: Refunds can’t be provided when matching has been finalized (6 February 2023).

Who should aim for this program?

This program pairs project managers who are looking for guidance and support, including on their pathway to RegPM certification, with more experienced practitioners who want to commit time and energy to the professional development of another practitioner. So, aim for this program if you want to have:
