Benefits of ATS Mentorship
ATS Assembly Mentoring Programs offer valuable advice and wisdom at critical points in a member's career development. Designed to foster formal facilitated mentoring connections to help mentees grow and advance their careers, the programs provide support through individualized attention.
A commitment is required to provide a nurturing environment for mentees, and create the best available opportunities to succeed throughout their training. A structure is followed, outlining expectations for both the mentor and mentee.
Mentees and mentors have the opportunity to meet face-to-face during the ATS International Conference at the Mentoring Program Spot. Mentees and mentors taking advantage of these meetings will be able to collaborate, discuss career strategies, and plan conference schedules.
