Mentoring Program

Mentoring is a valuable career development opportunity for both mentors and mentees, and a great opportunity to meet your colleagues from across DHS.

DHS AAPIN will begin accepting applications on January 6, 2020 for mentors and mentees for the FY 2020 class.

FY 2020 Mentoring Program Timeline:
  • Monday, Jan. 6-17: Application period 
  • Friday, Jan. 17: Application period closes at 12 PM EST
  • Friday, Jan. 24: Mentors and mentees notified of matches
  • January 2020: Kick-off event
  • TBD 2020: Mid-year energizer
  • TBD 2020: End-of-program celebration

The AAPIN Mentoring Program is open to all DHS employees, from headquarters and components offices: our goal is to match applicants across organizational boundaries. Mentees do not need to be new to the federal government. Some of the most successful mentoring relationships are between mid-level employees and senior leaders.
