Mentoring Program

Mentoring Program

In late 2010, the API Queensland Division launched a Mentoring Program to assist members who are new to the property industry.  The program is designed to:

• Aid student, Graduate, Provisional and Associate members of the API to gain exposure and insight into areas of the Property Industry through a Mentor/Mentee program; 
   
• Provide access to Mentors who have a variety of experience in the property industry in a range of fields from residential, commercial and plant and machinery valuers, property advisers, property analysts and fund managers, property lawyers, and property researchers and academics; 
   
• Assist Mentees in the planning, development and management of their careers and to help them become more resilient in times of change, more self-reliant in their careers and self-directed learners; 
   
• Encourage the development of competencies more easily gained through example, guided practice or experience than by education and training;
    
• Bridge the gap between theory and practice. Formal education or training is complemented by the knowledge and the hands-on experience of a competent practitioner; 
   
• Model desired behaviours, encourage the development of competencies, motivate for service quality, and above all to cultivate progressive attitudes.
