Mentorship Program

ACTE is happy to partner with IMAGO for the Mentorship Program.

IMAGO empowers learners with the essential skills needed for success in careers, college, and their communities.

Through engaging online video lessons and professional development workshops for educators, IMAGO strengthens work readiness and leadership skills—helping students and professionals communicate effectively, navigate challenges, and build strong relationships.

IMAGO’s research-backed approach ensures that learners are not just prepared for the workforce but for life, equipping them with the critical thinking, resilience, and interpersonal skills needed in an evolving world.

Program Goals

  • To foster a learning environment where individuals feel welcome, valued, and supported within career and technical education
  • To assist Mentors and Mentees in personal career development
  • To ensure that the mentoring relationship is mutually beneficial, rewarding, and satisfying
  • To cultivate a mentorship network that represents a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives
  • To encourage collaboration and understanding among mentees from different backgrounds
  • To promote lifelong learning and adaptability among mentors and mentees, preparing them for a rapidly changing global landscape.

Program of Work

Mentees will meet with their mentor once a month, and submit a monthly reflection after the meetings. Mentees are also asked to attend the monthly IMAGO webinars.

Mentees will be required to select FOUR of six activities to submit by November 15.

  • Meet Your Mentor Reflection
  • TED Talk Review
  • Article or Book Review
  • Creative Activity Selected by Mentor/Mentee
  • IMAGO Reflection
  • Mentorship Year Reflection for VISION Reception

In addition to the four selected activities, mentees are also invited to co-present at CareerTech VISION 2025 in Nashville, Tennessee. Mentees will be divided into groups based off their divisions, and will reflect about their mentorship experience during their group session.

 

Applications for the 2026 Mentorship Program will open in June!
