Mission

• Collaboration with Temple SHRM is ideal – well established student chapter, students, advisors, and faculty are all interested

• Philly SHRM support from the Emerging Leaders Committee and beyond is critical for the programs success and evaluations

• What we learn – success and problems will guide us in refining and expanding the program in future years

Pilot Program: PSHRM Emerging Leaders/Temple U!

• Match mentors with mentees where the relationships will be comfortable and rewarding for both mentor and mentee

• Create a network of mentees and mentors• Expose mentees to the Philly SHRM Emerging

HR Leaders Committee to create awareness of Philly SHRM and encourage continuing affiliation with the Chapter

• Help mentees achieve their specific goals while building their coaching and leadership skills of the mentors

Monitoring & Assessing Program Success

• Get you mentor’s inside perspective on the HR profession

• Find out what type of work you may do at your first job or internship by talking with your mentor about what they did

• Get the skinny on what it means to transition from college student to young professional

• Find out what resources will be waiting for you after you graduate

Examples of Goals to Set

…a recruiting agency. We are here to help you with perspective through anecdote and experience; not find a job or internship for you.

…a connection to get you an interview. Finding you employment is not the intention of this program.

Do Not Use Your Mentor As…

…as a sounding board for your thoughts, hopes, dreams, and ideas! We want you to dream big and we’re happy to share our successes and lessons learned with you to help you on your journey to a successful career in HR.

Absolutely Use Your Mentor…

• You must complete an application ASAP. Please review the requirements of the program before signing up• Once accepted to the program, you will need to complete

all of the requirements. This program is involved and will require you to designate time and effort

• This a highly competitive pilot program with an opportunity for only 10 students and 10 mentors
