The AHRI Mentoring Program has been designed to assist those seeking opportunities for career and professional development by creating mentoring relationships. The program matches experienced HR practitioners (mentors) with upcoming HR practitioners, HR students and those wanting to transition into an HR role (mentees).

The program runs for 12 months (except HR Student Program which is six months and only runs in the April intake) and matches over 700 pairs annually. There are two intakes each year, with one in April and one in October. Applications open approximately three months prior to commencement and close one month prior to the start date. Once matches are made, participants are notified of their new mentoring partner via email.

All participants must be an AHRI member or take out an AHRI membership ($33 for students) to join the program. Mentees (except HR Student mentees) incur a cost of $150 for the 12 month program. There is no charge for mentors and HR student mentees (in the student mentee program) provided you are an AHRI member. If you are not currently an AHRI member, but want to explore your membership options and other benefits associated with joining, you can do so by visiting memberships online.
