Please find below program dates. All live face-to-face components of the program will take place at Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth locations.
he last mentoring workshop for 2021 offered vital skills enhancement and networking opportunities for mentors and mentees alike. The NIBA Mentoring Program is for young brokers, insurers, and associated professionals across the insurance industry. The aim of the program is to empower young professionals by partnering them with supportive and motivating industry role models. With their mentor’s guidance, each mentee develops focused goals that help them achieve higher levels of performance. The program is also a great experience for mentors, many of whom appreciate the chance to do something meaningful and give back to the industry. The latest instalment of the program will begin in February for 12 weeks, ending in May 2022. There will be three structured sessions which all mentors and mentees will be required to attend. All participants will receive a program handbook to guide you through the program.
Workshop 1: 24 February 2022 Workshop 2: 7 April 2022 Workshop 3: 19 May 2022 Meetings between mentors and mentees are flexible and should be arranged by
mutual consent. Mentors and mentees should plan to meet every week for approximately one hour during the 12week program. As part of moving to the updated format, participants will be able to share ideas and knowledge between states and watch key videos of the other states’ programs. We hope this also provides an avenue for rural participants to join the program virtually as we livestream from CBD-based venues.
