Using Mentoring and Networking to Build Your Career

Once you have a degree and some job experience, how do you move to the next level? Is training and professional development enough? This webinar features a panel of outdoor recreation professionals from government, nonprofit, private, and academic backgrounds. Panelists will share their experiences with mentoring and networking and how it helped them - and how they helped others - learn more about themselves and how to move forward in their careers. 

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will understand the what a mentor is and how to identify for a mentor
• Participants will be able to identify qualities of a good mentor as well as watch-outs in a mentor-mentee relationship
