Leaders Mentoring Program
Mentee Application
Deadline: June 20, 2016
WELCOME TO THE MENTEE APPLICATION FOR THE LEADERS MENTORING PROGRAM
Public service demands in the 21st century require innovative and dynamic leadership across the Federal sector to face the myriad of challenges and opportunities. The Federal government’s investment in the education, training and development of its workforce is paramount for ensuring mission and organizational success.
The Federal Training Institute (FTI/Institute) an educational division of the League of United Latin American Citizens, a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization, has a long-standing public service goal and tradition of partnering with Federal agencies to offer pro bono leadership training and development opportunities for up and coming public service leaders.
One of the Institute’s goals for 2016 is to pilot a six-month, no-cost mentoring program for career Federal employees in general schedule (GS) grades 14 and 15.
Titled the Leaders Mentoring Program (LMP), this competitive program in compliance with 5 U.S.C. Chapter 41, will run from September 2016 – March 2017. The program is designed to provide one-on-one leadership mentoring for up to 25 participants. Candidates for the program will be selected by a board of former Senior Executive Service executives and volunteer executives currently in Federal service. Individuals selected for the program will receive opportunity to learn valuable knowledge from a mentor’s expertise and lessons learned, learn what it like to be in a higher level position, and enhance competencies in specific areas. The results of this pilot will help to shape future mentoring programs for a range of grade levels.
