Built and delivered by today’s property leaders for tomorrow’s property leaders
The Property Council is committed to developing and expanding talent within our industry, and is pleased to offer a National Mentoring Program available to all members across the country.
This initiative builds on the strong success of the previous programs that have been delivered over the past 12 years (11 in Victoria and two as a National Program), involving over 900 mentees and mentors.
Right now, growing your people has never been more important. The Property Council’s National Mentoring Program is dynamic, and purpose–built for the challenges and opportunities in our industry.
Whether you’re seeking a mentor, a way to give back to the industry as a mentor, or opportunities for your staff, this National Mentoring Program delivers.
