Mentoring Program

In 2017, IALEIA announced the creation of our mentoring program. This program is designed for analysts in law enforcement, military, and the private sector, regardless of skill level. Mentors and mentees will be afforded the opportunity to seek like-minded analysts who can help with expand their professional network while increasing analytical tradecraft knowledge.

IALEIA offers analysts the unique opportunity to work with mentors locally or abroad. By incorporating an international mentoring aspect to the mentoring program, analysts can enhance their analytical capacity while learning new customs and procedures affecting their partner’s capabilities. Whether you are a 20-year veteran or fresh to the field of intelligence, the mentoring program can help you gain much-needed analytical tradecraft to enhance your analysis. Regardless of national-level intelligence organizations or local law enforcement entities, mentoring can open new horizons and create everlasting friendships.

Mentors

Dedicated mentors can help new analysts gain insightful experience when it comes to working in the intelligence world. Mentors can aid new analysts in building confidence when it comes to navigating the murky waters of the intelligence cycle, tradecraft, and networking. To be considered for a mentoring role, mentors are recommended to have at least five years of intelligence analyst experience and be willing to commit one year to the program. Additionally, mentors should maintain weekly contact with their analyst.
