Mentors
The primary goal of the Leaders of Tomorrow (LOT) Mentorship Program® is for students to learn how to build relationships effectively with business professionals in a practical, enjoyable and informative way. You will be matched up with a mentee (student) for the duration of your involvement in the LOT program (October to September) and we will also give you the opportunity to choose (if you are with a partner company) three mentee possibilities from profiles submitted by each student. Don’t worry! We will first filter the list into different departments so you should only have to look through 5-10 profiles.
As a mentor in the LOT program, you have the opportunity to make a lasting and significant impact in a young person’s life by sharing your knowledge and experience with an eager listener. These are ambitious LOT members who could help you gain insight on the impact of your business on their demographics. Furthermore, you can meet with proactive mentors from other member organizations and broaden your contact base while gaining insights from a different perspective.
Over half of our Mentors return each year because they greatly enjoy their participation in the program. LOT Mentors develop their leadership skills, contribute to student development, share their experiences and have an opportunity to reflect on one’s own career.
Here is what we ask of our mentors in the Leaders of Tomorrow Mentorship Program:
- Be a card holding Member of The Vancouver Board of Trade.
- Meet regularly with your mentee (5-7 times) between October and September.
- Share your experiences, successes, and challenges of life in the working world.
- Help the student develop goals for the year using the log book they are each provided at the Orientation evening.
- Try to attend the Orientation evening on October to meet your mentee and learn more about the program.
- Try to attend a Graduation evening in September where awards are presented to those that complete the program requirements.
