Mentorship Program
How It Works
The YIPVan Mentorship Program aims to motivate professionals to create meaningful relationships that allow them to progress and accelerate development.
-
The program involves an (8) month commitment with a requirement of at least one (1) hour per month
-
Mentee/Mentor pairings will be facilitated by YIPVan's Team, with a follow-up launch event. We are currently accepting applications for both mentors and mentees - please see application forms on this page! Please note that these applications are used in the pairing process, so the more information you provide the better!
-
Mentees - should be newer to the insurance industry but still be at least one (1) year into their careers in order to have an idea of career progression and to build a meaningful relationship with their mentors.
-
Mentors - should be seasoned insurance professionals with more than five (5) years of insurance related experience under their belts. Experience is crucial as they will be the guides for their mentees as they discover their careers in the insurance industry.
Please Note: This program is only to be used as a tool for career development and NOT as a job seeking/recruiting tool.
*In the event of an imbalance between mentee/mentor applications, the YIPTVan Team will endeavor to pair individuals based on best fit, as well as a first come first serve basis.
Testimonials from YIPT Mentorship Program
"I’ve been very fortunate to have strong mentors during my career that helped my personal and professional development, and guide me in the right direction. YIPT has provided me with the rewarding opportunity to give back to the insurance community by providing the same advice and guidance I received while I was establishing myself in the industry" - Mentor
“This has been a great program, run by excellent facilitators who genuinely seem to care about moving the industry forward in positive and constructive ways. My only regret is that I did not have access to this type of program when I was more junior in the industry. Our industry is seemingly in great hands with young and bright minds who seem to really care about what they do in and around their careers.” – Mentor
