APPLICATIONS CLOSED FOR FALL 2024 SESSION

The TPA Mentorship Program is an initiative designed to accelerate learning and professional growth by connecting members with experienced peers. This program fosters connections across content creation and business development to open up new opportunities for collaboration and innovation among TPA members. The program is structured to be mentee-led and mentor-supported, with additional support from TPA staff.

Groups meet and work on mentee-established goals over the course of 4 months, with at least one meeting a month.
The TPA Mentorship program has two seasons:

• Spring: February - May

• Fall: August - November

Our goal is to establish a structured yet supportive mentorship program within the podcasting community. By grouping mentees and mentors based on shared roles, interests, and goals, we aim to tailor the experience to address individuals’ specific needs. 

How many times can I participate as a Mentee?
As often as will benefit your professional development!

Peer Connection Groups
Starting with the Fall 2024 session, mentees will be directly connected with peers pursuing similar objectives via TPA slack. These Connection Groups will offer an additional platform for discussion, knowledge sharing and peer support, creating a comprehensive program where mentees can learn from both their mentors and peers.

Wondering if you should sign up?
This program is open to all members who have an enthusiasm for peer-based networking and skill sharing.
