Professional Development
The PMI® Mentorship Program believes in making connections. We are looking for PMI members who want to share their expertise with a new project manager to help that person grow professionally.
The mentorship program aligns professionals to assist one another in reaching their goals, while providing project management career advice.
Seeking the guidance of a mentor? Both prospective mentors and mentees, begin by filling out the form at the bottom of this page under How to Get Started.

- Connect with and form a relationship with a mentor;
- Work with a mentor to customize a mentoring relationship:
- Define the goals and objectives of the relationship;

Mentor Benefits
An opportunity to:
- Make connections with fellow mentors who share best practices and resources;

What is not Included in the Mentorship Program
- The mentorship program is not intended to be an educational alternative to PMI sponsored certification courses.
- There isn't a commitment to participate, just an opportunity to learn and grow from other project managers.
The mentorship relationship is what you decide to make of it.

"The PMINEO mentorship program was an informative and insightful experience that provided me with professional guidance. The program's flexibility, particularly the ability to schedule meetings during standard work hours, made it possible for me to fully engage with my mentor who had successfully navigated the exact industry pivot I'm now pursuing. Through his personalized insights drawn from his own professional journey, I am now equipped with the confidence to make a meaningful career transformation"
Tiana Ware, Mentee
"The PMINEO mentorship program has been a great help to my growth as a Project Manager. During my tenure as a mentee I was guided through preparing my PMP application and given information and insight that provided me with professional guidance. Andy was flexible in scheduling meetings. When life threw a wrench in my life plans, he made sure to meet, check in and provide support throughout the program. Insights from his professional experience gave me the confidence to thrive in my new role as a Project Manager."
Roger Ouimet, Mentor
“I set out to give back to my profession of program and project management but ended up receiving so much in return from the experience. I sharpened my hybrid project management skills by preparing for discussions with Bethany and was able to deliver advice. It led to my own confidence in a client presentation in how I would deliver a project with known and unknown facets of a project. I highly recommend becoming a mentor.”
Bethany Compton, Mentee
“Thank you to Roger and to PMINEO for an impactful mentorship! I have learned so much from this program. Not only did I get insights for my career development, but I was directed to resources for my continued growth. It is so interesting to see how other industries approach project management, and I am so thankful PMINEO has programs like this!”
