Wyoming Mentoring Program
The Wyoming NRCS Mentoring Program was developed by the Wyoming Civil Rights
Advisory Committee
and adopted by Wyoming leadership in 2008.
The Wyoming Mentoring Handbook provides employees with information
on the objectives of the mentoring program as well as guidance on how to build a
successful mentoring relationship. Employees should refer to GM-360, Part 403,
Subpart J, National Mentoring Policy for further guidance on the mentoring program.
All employees are encouraged to use this program as a method for training and
for career development. Those interested in being mentored as well as those
interested in becoming mentors are encouraged to submit their applications to
the Mentor Coordinator, who is the Assistant State Conservationist for Quality
Assurance and Evaluation. Questions concerning the mentoring program should
be directed to the Leadership Team individual in the employee's area of
responsibility or to the Assistant State Conservationist for Quality Assurance
and Evaluation.
