In 2022, AJSV is pleased to continue the successful cross-sector mentoring program for professionals across Australia (Victoria) and Japan. Ensuring COVID-19 safe practices alongside resumption of face-to-face where suitable, AJSV are pleased to be delivering the 2022 AJSV Mentoring Program through a blended model from September - December 2022.

The Program:

(1) Develops participants’ leadership skills and expands their professional networks.
(2) Builds a cohort of highly skilled young professionals ready to become the next leaders within the Australia-Japan space.
(3) Provides an opportunity to learn from valuable experience and ‘on the job reality’ from cross-sectorial professionals and improve your professional engagement in Australia and Japan.
(4) Contributes to the spectrum of talent across various sectors and levels.
(5) Helps navigate the ‘What now?’ and ‘Where to from here?’ challenge faced upon many young professionals upon their return from Japan wishing to build a career within the Australia-Japan space

The program will link professionals and alumni of various programs to mentors (across a range of sectors) in a program that entails a minimum of three catch-ups over a period of 3-4 months and a launch event. Partnerships will be supported to be meet virtually or face-to-face (pending location and preference of partners) and will be matched with considerations of sector, interest and experience. The AJSV will be in contact throughout the program to support the partnership and participants to maximise the outcomes of the program for all.

Please note there will not be an expectation that mentors will provide career opportunities, although the mentoring relationship may continue past this formal program organically.

This is a volunteer-based program, and mentors and mentees are not paid. Please note this program is available to those in Australia and Japan.
