The presentation will detail traditional training programs and how they aide in staff development. It will highlight where those programs fall short in well-rounded staff development for a firm/agency.
The next section will go through a mentorship program that has been developed at Kimley-Horn and how it has been adapted over time to maximize its effectiveness. The basic program outline and structure will be shared for use and adaptation by the attendees in their own organizations. The basic program includes individual, small group, and large group activities to learn about broad aspects of the professional world. The mentorship program is tailored to each individual to respond in real time to their current needs in their professional setting.
The presentation will go through several measures to show how the program has changed and improved over the last five years.
