Frequently asked questions
Are there any fees involved?
Successfully matched mentees are required to pay a nominal fee of $50. This is to ensure mentees are committed to completing the mentorship programme.
What are the benefits for participating as a mentee in this programme?
Having a mentor enables a mentee to steer through their organisation and career in a targeted and focused manner.
A mentor can bring a wider perspective of the working environment to the mentee. Mentors can act as a sounding board and a voice of reason for mentees.
Building professional networks may take a lifetime. Mentees can leverage a mentor’s network (if the mentor is willing to share) to develop their professional or personal goals.
Can I participate in the programme more than once?
The CFA Society Singapore Mentorship Programme is a popular choice among our members, given its positive impact on the professional development of a mentee. Due to the high demand for this programme, we are now restricting mentees’ participation in the programme to only once.
What if I do not get paired up with my desired mentor?
Although every effort is made to match mentees with suitable mentors, there may be occasions where a match cannot be found. In such cases, we will defer mentee participation to the following year.
If I apply to be a mentee and I am unsuccessful in being matched this year, will I receive priority for the next year?
All potential mentees will be considered for the programme on an equal basis. However, priority may be given to those who have not been matched in previous years, subject to meeting eligibility requirements.
