WHY BE A MENTOR?

If you are a “seasoned professional”, enjoy what you do, and have a passion for your art and industry, you probably would love to mentor an apprentice.

The reasons you may have for even considering being a mentor could be a list as long and varied as the benefits gained by becoming one. But for us, the reason why we would want someone like you to mentor a candidate/applicant of ours is quite simple.

We believe that you, a seasoned working professional are much, much more able to help get someone “into the biz” than any school - anywhere, at any price. If you believe as we do, the following might interest you.

WHO ARE WE?

The Apprentice-Mentor Association is a network of over 5,000 fellow professionals and participants throughout the U.S. and Canada, and now expanding worldwide - an association built during the last thirty years.

Started initially to help aspiring broadcasters, it now offers on-the-job, one-on-one training in Radio/TV, Recording, Video, Film, and other specialized fields to help overcome that old Catch 22 - "You can't get a job without experience and you can't get experience without a job".

Each month we get thousands of visitors to our website. We screen through those who apply as potential candidates to refer to you the one who is right. You, of course, make the final selection and we encourage you to advise us of any candidate you don’t feel confident you would be effective with. The interview is directed towards this question: Given a lot of effort and dedication by the candidate, can you develop this person to the point of entry level employment - weekend shift, late night, vacation relief?

If your answer is “Yes”, the applicant can be accepted into the Apprentice - Mentor program.
