Mentoring Program

The Mentoring Program matches experienced IA professionals ("mentors") with practitioners, newcomers to the field, students, and anyone interested in being mentored ("protégés").

This program is provided as a service to IAI members only. Mentors do not need to be members, but protégés do. If you are not already a member, you can join the Information Architecture Institute to participate as a protégé.

Get Started

We ask that both mentors and protégés please fill out our Mentor Program Survey to participate in the Mentoring Program.

If you would like to be a protégé, upon completing the survey, you can:

  • Choose a mentor. Find someone whose interests and experiences match what you are looking for by reviewing the list of available mentors and contact them directly, OR

  • Get a recommendation. As you fill out the mentoring program survey, be sure to indicate this preference on Question 20.  Our Mentoring Coordinator can suggest an appropriate mentor based on your interests, experience, and needs.  You will still be responsible for interviewing prospective mentors to ensure that your needs can be met.

We highly recommend that you review the available mentors list before requesting a recommendation or introduction.  For more information, go to Choose a mentor.

If you would like to be a mentor, you can:

  • Volunteer. Fill out our survey and our Mentoring Coordinator will add you to the list of available mentors.
