MLBC Mentorship Program
The Michael Late Benedum Chapter of the AAPL has, at its core, a mission to serve the membership, to provide practical and valuable support in furtherance of professional excellence. Quite often, entry-level landmen and those seeking to learn new skills find themselves without proper circumstances or opportunities needed to excel. The MLBC Mentorship program meets this need by carefully vetting experienced mentor candidates and strategically matching them with quality mentees who genuinely seek guidance. Over a one year period, program participants build a mutually beneficial professional relationship – mentees gain guidance, support, and valuable experience while mentors gain a new ally, access to a younger network, insight into new technical trends and innovations, and a strong sense of satisfaction.
