CFA Society of Austin Mentorship Program
The CFA Society of Austin joins societies across the country in offering a Mentorship Program to its members. This is an opportunity for seasoned professionals and aspiring professionals to connect, share knowledge and experiences, grow, and create lasting relationships in an atmosphere of confidentiality, trust, and respect.
The Mentorship Program is not a job placement program. Therefore, it is highly likely that the mentor and mentee will not share the same career path or industry experience. We strive to find the same number of mentees and mentors, but if demand from mentees is greater than supply of mentors, we may need to ask some mentees to wait until the next mentorship cycle.
