We are excited to announce that the 2024 NIBA Mentoring Program applications are now open.
What is the NIBA Mentoring Program?
The NIBA Mentoring program encourages and supports Industry Professionals to improve their professional development, manage their learning, maximise their potential, and develop their skills and performance. The program is industry-wide and seeks to involve participants from brokerage and other industry sectors. Mentors are drawn from various insurance-related industries, and this program helps develop their leadership skills.
Mentors and mentees will be matched according to their objectives and interests identified during the application process. The program runs for 12 weeks, but the mentor and mentee are encouraged to continue their relationship after the scheduled program by mutual agreement. After the program, mentees, as part of their graduation, will present to the committee and the program’s participants the goals and objectives achieved due to being involved in the mentoring program.
Who can be a Mentor?
Mentors should have a broad range of life and work experience and strongly understand our industry’s issues. They must be committed to their mentees' personal and professional development and prepared to be involved in all aspects of the program. Mentors are required to abide by the NIBA Mentoring Code of Practice at all times.
• Guide and offer support to the Mentee
• Commit to the program and be available at the time designated in the program
• Attend the program workshops with the Mentee
• Evaluate the Mentee’s skills and weaknesses
• Provide candid opinions.
Who can be a Mentee?
NIBA identifies mentees as professionals already active in the industry and engaged in their field, demonstrating a commitment to professional growth and development. This ensures the mentoring relationship is beneficial and effective, fostering a productive exchange of knowledge and experience. For the mentoring process to succeed, mentees must:
• Take responsibility for their learning and development
• Be open to different perspectives
• Take on the challenges and tasks set as part of the program
• Be able to accept appropriate feedback and coaching.
