The Vancouver Post Alliance Mentorship Program
Mission Statement
The Vancouver Post Alliance Mentorship Program nurtures emerging talent in the post production entertainment industry by connecting accepted Mentees with established professionals who can offer advice and guidance. Mentees get the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the post production industry’s business practices and culture, focus their efforts, and hone their skills. Mentors and Mentees are expected to maintain mutual respect, honesty and confidentiality at all times.
We feel strongly that mentoring is a crucial part of our mission and that it is incumbent upon us to ensure that new generations in the film, television, and new media business are able to take advantage of the experiences of those who have gone before them.
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the intake for the 2020-2021 Mentorship Program has been postponed. Information regarding new dates will be posted here as well as sent in our mailer once they are established.
The current 2019/2020 Mentorship program will continue to run until the end of its term with all interactions taking place virtually. Members can use email, FaceTime or any program of their choosing for communication during this time.
