- 1. SOL2LEAD.CA SOLDIER MENTORSHIP PROGRAM Christopher Baird Hennebery
- 2. SOL2LEAD.CA GUIDING PRINCIPAL The military is heavily influence by the mentorship process. Our goal is to extend mentorship beyond the military career and assist with transitioning soldiers into successful civilians. Military: If I say I want to develop a skill or trade, Im put on a track to achieve this. There are numerous SMEs available to give direction, advice and mentorship. Civilian: Although there are programs to assist with education and employment post military, there are no programs to line veterans up with mentors. Our belief is that education and employment grants without mentorship and guidance are less successful.
- 3. SOL2LEAD.CA WHY IS THIS PROGRAM IMPORTANT? 1. They need our help. There are thousands of young veterans and soldiers wishing to transition from the military to civilian careers. Due to cultural and economic conditions, this transition can be difficult and fraught with challenges unique to ex-military personnel. By pairing the soldiers with an existing industry leader, we hope to give them a relevant and valuable advisor who can help kick-start their career. 2. They are valuable. We have a great deal of money and time invested in our veterans and reserve soldiers. Their training and experience are assets that can be transitioned over to civilian careers to the betterment of the soldier and the company they eventual find work with. By pairing them with industry leaders we can educate those organizations on that untapped value and create a lasting partnership.
- 4. SOL2LEAD.CA WHY IS THIS PROGRAM IMPORTANT? 3. They are self-sustaining. Veterans and serving reserve soldiers who, in time, become mentors to the next generation, close the loop and create a mentorship legacy. It's our hope that those soldiers being mentored now will become successful in their careers and in turn, mentor the next generation.
- 5. SOL2LEAD.CA PROGRAM OUTLINE 1. Pairing of veteran/soldier with a senior leader in the industry field they are wishing to break into 2. Structured group events and one-on-ones between the mentor and veteran/soldier team 3. Guided action plans and follow-through between the teams 4. Sponsorship, training and internship connecting them with existing support networks and resources available to them
- 6. SOL2LEAD.CA BUSINESS CASE Dana M, Sgt (retired) 3rd Batt, PPCLI: 2 tours in Afghanistan Wants to retrain as Tattoo Artist Mentor met with Dana and started working with him on his portfolio. Got him set up with drawing lessons and worked with his veterans councilor on getting him enrolled in a college. Set Dana up with meetings at three different tattoo studios Net result: Dana is enrolled in Langaras art program, has developed solid relationships with two master tattoo artists and was given an apprentice position at one of the shops. Hes now now well on his way to becoming a licensed artist. Total time: 5hrs over 8 months
- 7. SOL2LEAD.CA THIS ISNT HARD TO GET STARTED Initial program is easy to set up Recruit Mentors Have at least 10 years experience in your field of expertise Be willing to meet with your mentee and provide a couple hours a month one-on-one guidance Attend at least one networking event with your mentee Recruit Mentees Be a serving or retired member of the Canadian Armed Forces or Rangers Be committed to the mentorship program and open to guidance from your mentor Be actively developing your civilian career or enrolled in a post-secondary education program * Level 2 programs like action plans and training would come later Meetings Connect them Empower them & Follow-through Sol2Lead Web Service
- 8. SOL2LEAD.CA MEETINGS WOULD HAVE MEANING AND DIRECTION Our group meetings would have two tracks: Track 1: Mentoring Mentors and mentees would meet and socialize. Theyd work on issues and pain points that are preventing the mentee from being successful. The meetings are 100% practical Track 2: Leading Group leadership meet to discuss progress on adoption and critical backing. This is essentially the board and focused on the overall direction of the initiative.
- 9. SOL2LEAD.CA MENTORS NEEDED Business Consultants Bakers Mechanics Software Developers Contractors Fireman Policeman Pilots Big rig operators Retailers Teachers
- 11. SOL2LEAD.CA SUMMARY 1. The program is easy to set up and is extensible 2. Its self-sustaining and requires very little funding 3. Its needed, wanted and provides immediate value 4. Mentors get to give back and the mentees pay it forward
