Cable Mentoring
RUTHERFORD Cable Mentoring Program
The RUTHERFORD Cable Mentoring Program offers an opportunity for a protégé to meet individually with a mentor to discuss issues related to career and personal development. Additionally, all of the mentors and protégés will meet together over several months to discuss relevant topics and to learn from each other. Each year a book is selected for discussion and a self-evaluation tool is completed by each participant for learning and self-reflection.
Rutherford Cable offers two types of mentor programs and alternates these by year according to need and interest.
- Mentoring for Young Professionals is designed to help participants with beginning career issues such as building your brand, navigating the job market, promotion and performance evaluation issues, developing as a leader, etc.
- Transitions Mentoring is offered for members who are transitioning in some way in their career. They may be re-entering the job market after years away, beginning an entrepreneurial adventure, considering a major career change, or transitioning from full-time work to retirement and other opportunities. Participants will explore goal setting, connecting with networks, taking time to celebrate successes, and learning tools to take action.
This program is sponsored by First Horizon Bank, whose gracious contribution will allow for up to eight Protégés and Mentors to participate in the program. This year’s mentor program is facilitated by Allison Oslund and Deb Thompson For more info, email Allison at allisonoslund@gmail.com or Deb at drtprs56@gmail.com.
