Mentorship


for Provisional RGD and Student Members
This Program matches protégés (final year Student Members or Provisional RGDs) with mentors (Provisional RGDs or R.G.D.s) to help protégés develop the necessary skills to enter or continue on a professional career path in graphic design.

Benefits
Protégés receive encouragement, guidance and support from a professional active in the industry who has been specifically selected based on the protégé’s needs and goals. Mentors have volunteered their time to offer expert feedback on portfolios, résumés, etc.; advice on further training and job hunting techniques; and information on ethical and professional practices.

For a period of 6 months, protégés meet with their mentors for 4 to 6 hour-long meetings to help the protégés develop the necessary skills to enter into or continue on a professional career path in graphic design.

The program is ongoing and we will do our best to match mentors and protégés as requests are received.

Feedback from the participants has been very positive:

"It was a fantastic program.
If it wasn't for the program,
I might not be in the field at
all any more."

"This program was excellent!
I would like to thank RGD for
allowing me to participate in
this program."

"My mentor was a perfect match
for my goals. She went above
and beyond the "call of duty"
and made herself very available
to me despite her busy schedule."
