Mentoring Program
The BCU Mentoring Program is an invaluable resource whether you are a mentor or a mentee. The experience gives you the opportunity to meet and assist new people and to learn how other departments work within the organization. Meeting with a mentor helps you to step out of the box and think in a new way to solve business issues and problems. I highly recommend the program!

Participating on both sides of this valuable program has been great – I get to learn from my mentor and my mentees, as well as gaining the sense of contributing to the success of BCU as a whole. I appreciate the opportunity to participate as both a mentor and a mentee.
