Mentoring (test)
PMI Belgium Mentoring Program
The PMI Belgium Mentoring Program is a one-to-one, goal-oriented experience that helps members turn ambition into momentum. Through the exchange of experiences, insights, and support, both mentors and mentees grow personally and professionally.
Our structured approach develops project management competencies and leadership skills while building a strong, supportive community. We foster a culture of continuous learning so participants can thrive and contribute to the profession.

Frequently Asked Questions
Speed Mentoring (New)
Speed Mentoring is a flexible, on-demand mentoring format designed for members who need targeted guidance on a specific challenge, without committing to a long-term mentoring relationship.
Instead of being matched with a named mentor, mentees are connected with an expert persona representing a specific project management sector or discipline (e.g., Pharma & Life Sciences, Green/Sustainability, AI, Construction, Consulting, Change Management, Digital & IT, General Project Management). Each persona is supported by experienced volunteer professionals from the PMI Belgium Chapter and its Communities of Practice.
Speed Mentoring sessions are short, focused, and practical, typically lasting up to 30 minutes, and aim to provide clarity, direction, and actionable next steps.
Speed Mentoring is being launched as a pilot initiative, starting with the Community of Practice Life Sciences, and will be further refined based on lessons learned before broader rollout.
For ongoing development and long-term mentoring, members are encouraged to apply to our Mentoring Program.
