NEXTGEN COMMUNITY
About NexGen (formerly YP)
NextGen Community
The group's core mission is to develop and educate young careerists in the security industry, through education, networking, and mentoring as part of the group’s activities, with a goal of developing confident, competent future security leaders.
The next generation of security professionals are typically defined as a member who is less than 40 years of age or who has spent fewer than five years in the security profession, we encourage participation from anyone passionate about this initiative, regardless of age or experience.
​
Mentoring consists of a long-term relationship focused on supporting the growth and development of the person being mentored (the mentee). The mentor is a source of wisdom, teaching, support, and inspiration, who motivates and empowers the mentee to identify his/her own issues and goals. This program caters to young professionals who are looking to advance into leadership positions or enhancing their skills and knowledge, where an ASIS member (the mentee) is matched with another experienced and willing member (mentor) based on the skills and knowledge which the mentee is seeking.
Both mentor and mentee will work together to enhance the latter’s personal and professional growth, where both parties should, amongst others, be open-minded and accommodating as well as have a certain level of commitment.
Please feel free to contact our Chapter NexGen Liaison for more details.
