Mentoring - King County Mentorship Program
“A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside of yourself” – Oprah Winfrey
The King County Mentorship Program provides opportunities for growth, development, and support, and can help King County employees achieve their career goals.
The program supports mentors by providing opportunities to deepen their knowledge on a specific topic, increase their reputation and influence, and provide the opportunity for them to pass on critical knowledge important to the continued success of the County. It also supports mentees by providing a trusted advisor who can urge them to learn new things about themselves, and help them to increase strengths and develop hidden talents. Mentors will also help mentees create their personal individual development plan.
To learn more about the program and take the first step towards pursuing personal career goals, register to attend the next Lunch and Learn session. You can find multiple offerings to choose from here. Register here.
