Mentorship Program
The PMI Malta Chapter Mentoring Program is a one-to-one, goal-oriented experience that helps members turn ambition into momentum. Through the exchange of experiences, insights, and support, both mentors and mentees grow personally and professionally.
Our structured approach develops project management competencies and leadership skills while building a strong, supportive community. We foster a culture of continuous learning so participants can thrive and contribute to the profession.
Every member of the PMI Malta Chapter can contribute by being a mentor or a mentee.
Participation is strictly voluntary and without financial compensation.
Main Focus Areas
- Certification: to guide mentees that are preparing for their PMI® certificates.
- Career Development: to provide guidance and advice to mentees on moving their careers to the next level, widen their perspective, and achieve the intended growth.
- Leadership and Power Skills: to assist mentees acquiring new leadership skills, increase their confidence and inspire their teams.
This program is not meant to prepare you for a PMP or other PMI exams, provide you with academic tutoring or certification, or find you a job or job referral. However, Mentors may share knowledge on those topics and provide references according to their discretions.
