ACS Fellows and Mentoring

The Canberra Branch coordinates a mentor scheme whereby tertiary computing students can informally network with experienced professionals in areas which are of particular interest to them. Mentors are available to provide information to current and future ACS members and others with a more general interest in ICT.

For more information on the mentor scheme, contact us at acscanb@acs.org.au or call (02) 6143 5503.

BRANCH FORUM

Our premier event, the NSW Branch Forum enables members and guests from all ICT backgrounds to experience different parts of the ICT industry that they may normally not have contact with. The forum allows them to advance their professional skills, catch up on branch news and develop industry contacts through networking.

A light meal is provided.

Scope of Event

There is no constraint on the scope of topics to be presented at Branch Forums, however, they will be relevant to the ICT industry or the skills of industry professionals.

The Branch Forum is a key communications method to update members about branch activities and upcoming events. Many attendees, members and non-members attend to meet other members and staff of the ACS.

The Branch Forum is attended by ICT professionals from all levels of industry as well as members from the Young IT community.

Mentoring

The ACS Mentoring Program will improve career development opportunities for members who are looking for career guidance in the ICT industry by matching them with leading industry veterans in a structured support program. Together, mentors and mentees set goals and work through a planned approach. After six months in the program, a mentee will be well placed to understand professional and leadership requirements typical in ICT today.
