The Commonwealth Mentorship Program (CMP) will help develop employees to cultivate a culture of seamless cross-pollination of knowledge transfer in order to break down silos and cultivate better employee retention, promotion and engagement. As such, the primary purpose of the program is the mentoring of state employees. CMP will begin as a 12-month pilot program (six-month formal & six-month informal) with 20 mentees and 20 mentors utilizing mentoring software from an external vendor, Qooper. The hope is to grow a more hybrid program for sustainability after the pilot formally ends in 2025.
