Welcome to the 2012 CEP Mentorship Program webpage. Those of you who have been checking in regularly – thank you for your patience.
You may be wondering about the CEP Mentorship Program, what it does, who it’s for, and what it involves. If so, keep reading!
Mentors
The goal of the Vancouver CEP Mentorship Program is to offer you the opportunity to give back to your professional community through working with another professional with possibly less experience, who is looking for a person to act as a sounding board for environmental sector, interpersonal communications, and career path guidance. You may find through this program that you find new talent for your field of work; however, the expectation is not for this program to be a place to find a job – it’s more an opportunity to expand mentees’ professional knowledge.
Mentees
The goal of the Vancouver CEP Mentorship Program is to offer you the opportunity to be matched with a professional currently working in the environment/sustainability industry, who can give you guidance and act as a sounding board for environmental sector knowledge, interpersonal communications and career path guidance.
This is our seventh year running, and we are planning to make it our most successful program yet!
Application Process
We are excited to announce that we will be accepting applications for the 2012 Mentorship Program starting October 24, 2011. Applications will be accepted until December 4, 2011.

Testimonies
“ You’d be surprised how useful you can be to someone with so little of your time!”
-2011 CEP Mentor
“2009 was my first year as a mentor in the CEP Mentorship Program. In the past I was part of an online mentorship program, but I did not make connections with my mentees. The CEP Mentorship Program is based on face-to-face mentor-mentee interaction which is much more valuable for both parties. CEP also provides guidance for mentors and mentees along the way about effective interactions. My mentee organized our meetings and was very respectful of my time. It was a worthwhile experience for both of us. I highly recommend the CEP Mentorship Program.”
