A Member Benefit with Real Impact

Feedback from members using the platform highlight the positive impact that mentoring is already having:

Ellen Earle, BA (Hons) MCIHT, Principal Transport Planner, JNP Group, said:

I have had a great experience with the mentoring platform. Matching with my mentor has definitely accelerated my progress towards professional qualifications but also my general development, and I may not have connected with such an experienced mentor if it wasn’t for the CIHT mentor platform.

Mr Sathyan Yogalingam MIEAust CPEng CMEngNZ MCIHT CEng, Ashghal Public Works Authority, said:

I am sincerely grateful for the exceptional support and guidance provided by my CIHT mentor. Their encouragement, insight, and commitment were instrumental in helping me achieve Chartered Status.

These testimonials reflect broader feedback from mentors and mentees who value access to other CIHT professionals and the opportunities that provides.
