Mentor program
Find an actuarial mentor or become one. Over six months, you’ll build the skills, confidence and connections to reach your goals, from business acumen to board readiness. Mentoring is how our profession grows stronger, one conversation at a time. Whether you’re seeking guidance or sharing it, your next step starts here.
Why join the mentoring program?
Whether you give or receive mentoring, you’ll gain six months of personal and professional growth. Every great actuary had someone who believed in their potential. Our mentor program gives you that support, and the chance to pass it on.
As a mentor, you’ll shape the careers of actuaries at every level. Share your insights while sharpening your own leadership and communication skills.
As a mentee, you’ll gain fresh perspectives and take real steps towards your career goals. Learn from actuaries who’ve walked your path.
With the world changing at pace and roles shifting, there’s never been a better time to build a mentoring relationship. The right connection gives you the perspective to move forward with confidence.
Membership unlocks a mentor program designed differently. This year, mentees can browse mentor profiles of experienced actuaries and choose who to learn from. Mentors review applications and select someone they're genuinely excited to support. It's about creating authentic connections through mutual selection.

“We met fortnightly for 30 minutes, and that flexibility let us focus on whatever I was facing at the time. My mentor supported me through a challenging year in my career. Hearing how she would handle the same issues gave me a new perspective. I’m so grateful the Institute runs this program.”
