  your footsteps.

  built on shared knowledge and collaboration.

About the Program

The AKISAN Mentorship Program connects experienced professionals with mentees who are
eager to advance their careers, build essential skills, and navigate the challenges of professional
life. Together, mentors and mentees work to foster growth, confidence, and career success.

Program Objectives:

• Help mentees develop critical skills like leadership, communication, and strategic
  planning.
• Provide mentees with personalized guidance to achieve their career aspirations.

  journey to motivate and empower your mentee.

  Development Plan (IDP) tailored to their needs and aspirations.
• Engage Regularly: Commit to meeting with your mentee at least once a month (virtually
  or in person) for meaningful conversations.
