ITC Mentor Orientation Day - Call for Mentors
Tuesday, 30th November 2021

If you applied to be a mentor with the International Trade Council then this is the day for you!

We will be discussing the mentoring program with other mentor applicants, how it will work, how we will match you with others, how we will promote you, and give you an overview of our software tools that we will be using.

There will also be opportunities for open discussions with other mentors and to come up with your own suggestions / ideas on the best way that the ITC should run the mentoring program so that it suits you.

NOTE: This day is for MENTORS only - not those needing mentoring. (There will be another announcement about that later)
