Mentorship Process
EACC commissioners and CEAP content experts in the field, will offer virtual group mentorship sessions twice per month allowing a CEAP candidate to accumulate up to twenty-four (24) contact hours of mentorship in an eight (8) month cycle*. Conducted via our Zoom platform, each group mentorship will be 1.5 hours and will focus on one of the sixteen (16) topics listed in the schedule below:
Mentorship group meetings are envisioned as a conversation with the mentees seeking to gain wisdom and understanding from the CEAP’s experiences related to the topic being discussed. This is not designed to be an educational exercise where the mentor prepares content. Think of two professionals having a conversation about the field. Mentees are encouraged to think of relevant questions on the respective topics, or to ask the mentor about their challenges and experiences in the field.
Examples of topics covered by the mentorship program
