Why join the mentoring program?

Share knowledge and unlock career progress with our free mentoring program. Whether you give or receive mentoring, you’re in for six months of personal and professional growth. The program runs from April to October 2026.

As a mentor, your knowledge will help make a difference to the careers of actuaries at many levels. Share your insights while sharpening your own leadership skills and communication expertise.

By being mentored, you’ll build new levels of professional connection. Learn new perspectives, take steps towards your career goals and learn from actuaries who’ve walked your path.

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.
