Nothing is more important to the health and sustainability of the PMI Phoenix Chapter than getting highly qualified, engaged, skilled, passionate people to work together to further their project management professional development journey – whether serving as a knowledge transfer agent or obtaining advice and guidance from a seasoned project management professional.
Come join this fall Mentorship Program as either Mentor or a Mentee. For Mentors, this is a great way to give back to the chapter. For Mentees, this is a great way to jump start your professional development and network with other project management professionals, and (of course) earn PDUs!
The PMI Phoenix Chapter is proud to offer members the Professional Mentorship Program. This program is designed for project management professionals working in the field who need the short-term support of someone more senior.
