By joining the CBA In-House Mentoring Program, you’ll connect with our active and inclusive community of lawyers, gain knowledge and share expertise. Our mentors and mentees represent a range of career stages, lived experiences, and areas of interest, practice and expertise.
The program is run by our certified career coach, who personally matches each mentoring pair to ensure you get and give advice on career growth, professional development and future opportunities with a colleague in a similar situation or sector, or with a similar background to yours.
You can meet online or in person. We’re here to help you find the right match.
