Canadian Credit Union Association

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the National Mentorship Program. We are taking a pause on the 2025 program to allow us to explore ways for mentorship to better support our members across the country.

The CCUA’s National Mentorship Program (NMP) has helped connect experienced leaders with those looking for guidance, support and skill development for over 10 years. Mentorship allows leaders to transfer their unique knowledge of the system to their mentees, enabling them to grow their careers and fulfill their full potential – a win-win for the mentees and the credit union system as a whole!

If your credit union, region, or working group is interested in running their own mentorship program in 2025, please reach out to nmp@ccua.com. We are happy to assist.

Check back later in 2025 for details about the next chapter for the National Mentorship Program.

Why Participate?

Mentees reported an average 7% increase in their level of on-the-job confidence after participating in the program, and 90% plan to stay in touch with their mentor after the program ends.

Mentors from last year’s program received a strong average rating of 4.5 stars out of 5 from past participants!

Did you know: If you are a CUDA Graduate, or an Accredited Canadian Credit Union Director, participating as a mentor or a mentee qualifies for continuing education (CE) credits?

“(NMP) was a great experience. I was matched with my ideal mentor and learned so much and grew a lot during my time with him. I was then able to transfer that knowledge to my mentee and then back to help as an advisor to our internal young leaders committee.”
