The FCS is proud to announce the launch of our Members-Only Mentoring program for 2025. This will be our sixth year running this successful initiative.
Our program matches mentees and mentors based on their career goals and mentor experience and interests. Applications for both roles are open now and will close on January 17th (no exceptions). Mentoring will begin in late January, kicking off with a virtual get-together for all participants.
The FCS Mentoring program provides a unique opportunity to be mentored by a more senior executive in financial marketing, communications, or media. The focus is on honing industry knowledge as well as skills in project management, negotiating, etc. The time commitment for the program is only one hour per month, starting in January and ending in December.
The size of the program will be based on the number of qualified applicants and pairing compatibility, taking into account one’s career aspirations and development goals.
