Strengthen Your Geoscience Career by Joining CSPG GeoMatch
Background
We are a group of professional geologists that believe the CSPG needs a mentoring program covering all members - promoting cross-generational and cross-cultural relations. It is an effort to integrate the community and strengthen the society’s values and integrity.
There are many geologists who are seeking leadership and mentorship experiences in volunteering as mentors with other organizations or joining Toastmaster groups – let’s encourage and develop the CSPG to become the main mentor association for it’s members!
Mentorship and Leadership
Building a solid base of mentors can be a challenge. We plan to get together once a month to exchange experience and ideas, in the form of workshops, discussions, blogs and articles. In other words, we are going to educate and train ourselves.
There are many experienced industry mentors who would like to volunteer to give talks to our mentors and transfer their experience in mentorship and leadership. Mentors and mentees will be able to attend GeoMatch/GeoStart sessions and give talks. This will help both mentors and mentees to develop their skills and encourage them to present to a larger audience (Technical Division talks). We are looking for volunteer speakers who are interested in giving talks to the GeoMatch/GeoStart audience or participate in leadership/mentorship discussion forms for mentors.
