It will be your responsibility to follow up with your mentor to ensure that you are capitalizing on every opportunity. Knowing that most people have busy schedules you may also want to use email, telephone, videotaping, and journaling to maximize contact with your mentor. Other suggestions are: going with your mentor to the site to observe or work, bringing your mentor to your site, meeting offsite to work with videotapes, videotaping yourself at work and reviewing it together. You are responsible for keeping all meetings with each other. The Cost: This will depend on your program preference. Your own professional development needs will guide your decision as to how many sessions to have and for how many months. Each mentoring session will be $15.00; workshops prices are on the registration form. Enclosed are the workshop schedule, registration form, and application form. Participants are accepted on a first come/ first served basis provided all requirements are met. Interpreters do not have to be in the mentorship program to attend the workshops.Download the One-on-One Mentorship Program registration and application form.
