Career Transitions Mentorship Program (CTMP)
Peer support for SLPs navigating career transitions
Introducing the Career Pivot Speaker Series, sharing actionable strategies for your next professional move.
The Career Transitions Mentorship Program (CTMP) is an ASHA member benefit that supports experienced speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who are navigating a career or professional transition within the field.
Whether you’re moving to a new setting, returning to the workforce, or taking on new responsibilities, CTMP connects you with a peer mentor who offers practical guidance, perspective, and support.
How the CTMP Works
CTMP provides structured, one-on-one virtual peer mentoring for SLPs transitioning within or across practice settings and roles.
Over a six-month partnership, participants focus on:
- Applying existing skills in a new role or setting
- Understanding expectations and workplace culture
- Identifying resources for continued growth
- Building confidence during a career transition
Mentees are SLPs who:
- Have at least 1 year of professional experience post-certification/licensure
- Are transitioning to a new setting, role, responsibility, or re-entering the workforce
- Want peer support and practical insight during a career change
Mentors are SLPs who:
- Have at least 2 years of professional experience post-certification/licensure
- Are proficient in their setting or role
- Want to give back while building leadership and mentoring skills
