WIFTA 2008 Mentorship Program
Applications are due by May 16, 2008. Those selected to participate in the mentorship program will be announced by June 6, 2008. The program will run from June thru September 2008. You must be a current member of WIFTA in good standing to apply for the program. A resume must be submitted along with this application. The goal of the program is to provide members with access to a seasoned professional in their career field or area of interest. It is a four month commitment, during which the mentor will meet with the member once a month for the first three months; the fourth meeting will be an onsite visit at the mentor's place of work or on a project (if applicable). Any additional meetings can be decided upon between the mentor and mentee. For 2008, our goal is to have between five and eight mentorship pairings. Those seeking mentors must being current WIFTA members; the mentors do not need to be WIFTA members, nor do they need to be women. Applying does not guarantee acceptance into the program. In order to get the most out of a mentorship, the impetus of the information sought needs to come from the mentee. The responsibility is on the mentee to prepare in advance by researching the field of interest and creating a list of specific questions to ask the mentor. The mentor will make her/himself available to provide feedback on specific topics but is not expected nor required to direct the research or career direction of the mentee. During the four month program, the mentor will also be accessible to the mentee via email (the mentee should use good judgment in not imposing too much on the mentor’s time in this manner). The goal of the mentorship program is to make a contact in the industry and to get advice and guidance from an established professional in the mentee’s field of interest. It offers mentees the opportunity to ask questions, gain insights, assess their goals and learn important information about their field. However, mentors are not expected to provide job or internship opportunities to the mentees, nor teach specific skills. A contract signed by mentee and mentor assures they will commit to meeting when scheduled, or notify the other party with 24 hours notice if canceling. If proprietary information is to be shared (scripts, musical compositions, treatments, etc), a non-disclosure agreement must be signed by both parties. The program is competitive and is reserved for serious applicants only. |
