MCAA Academy

The MCAA Academy is a programme to support the career development of our members, with mentoring at its core.

MCAA Academy mentorship

The MCAA Academy is divided into two mentoring entities: the general MCAA Academy programme, where mentors and mentees connect organically and without a formal matching process, and specific mentoring programmes, which bring mentor-mentee pairs together in more structured programmes for a period of six months.

General mentoring

Once you have successfully joined the MCAA Academy, you can enrol in the general mentoring programme as a mentor or mentee. This path is ideal for those seeking flexible, ongoing connections that foster growth at any career stage. Whether you’re looking for career guidance, feedback, or simply an inspiring exchange of ideas, general mentoring offers a space to connect organically with like-minded professionals.​​

You can search for mentors based on shared interests and expertise, engage with the community on topics that matter to you, and build meaningful relationships that support both your personal and professional growth.​​

By joining general mentoring, you become part of a supportive network that grows and learns together, wherever you are in the world.

If you are a mentee, you can seek mentors here.

Thematic mentoring

The MCAA Academy also hosts specific mentoring programmes that pair mentors and mentees around defined themes. A first pilot, a six-month programme focusing on careers in the public sector, was launched in June 2025. Other thematic programmes will be introduced in 2026.​​

Do you have a specific topic or mentoring need in mind? We will launch calls on our social media channels to define themes for our upcoming programmes. Stay tuned to the MCAA LinkedIn and X accounts for more information!

Networking and community engagement

A key element of the MCAA Academy is networking and connecting with our mentoring community.​​

User directory: Registered members can search other users based on characteristics like areas of interest, qualifications, sectors, and more, and connect with them via direct messages.​

​Engagement forums: All registered members can participate in discussions with other users in our open engagement forums. You can join existing conversations or start your own around a topic that interests you to connect and exchange experiences with others.
