Mentorship Matching Process

Our mentorship program is designed to create meaningful, personalized connections between mentees and mentors based on shared goals and interests. Below is a simple outline of our matching process to ensure a successful and rewarding mentorship experience for both parties.

Mentee Submits Form
The mentee completes a matching form on ACMT Connect, sharing details about their career stage, goals, areas of interest, and desired qualities in a mentor. The completed form is automatically sent to the Mentorship Coordinators through SmartSheet.

Mentorship Coordinator Finds a Match
The Mentorship Coordinator reviews the mentee’s information and looks through the mentor database to find the best match based on the mentee’s goals and interests.

Mentor Confirmation
The Coordinator reaches out to the selected mentor to confirm they’re available and interested. The mentor then reviews the mentee’s profile and responds with their availability and acceptance.

Mentor and Mentee Introduction
Once the mentor confirms, the Coordinator connects both parties via email with a formal introduction and guidance on starting their mentorship.

Check-In
The Coordinator follows up periodically to ensure the mentorship is running smoothly and to offer any support if needed.

This process ensures that each mentorship pairing is thoughtfully tailored to foster professional growth and meaningful connections within ACMT. Join us!
