EDUCATION SESSION #1058
Mentorship and Sponsorship for Career Advancement
Some say that mentors and sponsors are vital to guide and support your career advancement. Many companies have established formal mentorship and sponsorship programs to develop the next generation of leaders.

Perhaps you are part of such a program or you seek to develop informal mentor and sponsor relationships. In this interactive session, you’ll learn more about the importance of these connections and how to cultivate them.

After the panel discussion, share your experiences with your peers in small groups. Consider how mentorship and sponsorship has played — or could play — a role in your career.

Following the session, exchange views with your colleagues as you network over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.
