MENTOR GUIDE
Welcome to the Certification Mentor Program, created by the HR Certification Institute.
Thank you for giving us your time and support as a volunteer mentor. Without the
commitment of HR professionals like you, we would not be able to meet our mission.
Throughout the Certification Mentor Program, we will provide you with resources, support
and the information you will need to assist you in facilitating your mentoring relationship.
In this guide, we offer advice and tips on how to begin the relationship, what will be
expected of you, advice on communicating online and how to work with your mentee.
Please remember that we are here to assist you during your time as a mentor in our
Certification Mentor Program. Thank you again for your commitment to the HR profession
