Corporate Mentoring Program


Welcome

All employees, at every level, have knowledge and skills to share with others, and everyone has something to gain from mentoring.

We invite you to participate in the exciting opportunities offered by the Corporate Mentoring Program. Participating B.C. government staff are sharing leadership, ideas, and expertise while building a strong and supportive corporate culture.

 

How Do You Join the Mentoring Program

Through the Open Mentoring® tool, you can choose to be a mentor, a mentee or both. To sign up and complete your biography, follow these steps:

  • Have your employee ID and group code, your resume and/or your EPDP nearby
  • Go to http://www.mentoring.gov.bc.ca
  • Click the User Login link and select New User.
  • Please contact corporatementoringprogram@gov.bc.ca for mentor and mentee group codes.
  • You can sign up as both a mentor and mentee using both group codes. See FAQs Q22 for the simple 'how to' step.
  • Follow the directions on the subsequent pages to complete your biography (takes approximately 15-20 minutes).

If you need help, return to the main webpage and click on the “Getting Started” link. Once you have created your biography, you can begin a project, look for learning resources, find a mentor, get mentoring advice and numerous other functions. A project is the term used to describe a mentoring relationship with specific goals in mind. Mentees can select mentors based on the matching criteria such as the person’s biography, competencies location and functional expertise.  If you get stuck at any time, just click on the “Help Movies” or “Support” link.

Making Yourself Available

"A mentor is a coach, a resource and a support. A key element in mentoring is time - making yourself available to people both formally and informally.

I look forward to being part of the mentorship process and strongly believe mentoring is an essential element in the development of our current and future public service leaders."
