Program Overview

How it Works

Welcome to the APEN and Albanian-American Mentoring Mentoring Iniative, where we aim to foster professional growth and development through meaningful mentorship relationships. Our program is designed to connect professionals and aspiring individuals within the Albanian-American community to enhance their career trajectories and personal development.

Application Process

Our application process is straightforward and tailored to capture your professional interests, goals, and background. By submitting your application, you take the first step toward a rewarding mentorship experience. Here’s how it works:

 

Complete the Application

Fill out the application form with your details, professional goals, and areas of interest.

 

Matching Process

Once we receive your submission, our team will work diligently to pair you with a mentor or mentee that aligns with your profile and objectives.

 

Program Kick-Off

We will then invite all participants to an in-person kick-off event on Wednesday, May 1st, 2024, where you will have the opportunity to meet your mentor or mentee and learn more about the program. 

 

Program Duration

The duration of the mentorship program is flexible and will be determined by mutual agreement between the mentor and mentee. For maximum impact, we recommend a commitment of 6-12 months. This timeframe allows for the development of a strong and productive relationship.

Meeting Cadence

We encourage mentors and mentees to meet at least once a month. Regular meetings help maintain momentum and ensure that both parties are benefiting from the partnership. These meetings can be in person or virtual, depending on the preferences and locations of the participants.
