Mentorship Series

Learn from Experienced UX Professionals - One Topic at a Time

The TriUXPA Mentorship Series is a biweekly, expert-led program designed to connect experienced UX professionals with students and early in career designers across the Triangle.

This 3 month pilot will feature 6 structured mentorship sessions, each led by a different mentor focusing on a specific topic.

Format: Virtual - Biweekly - 60 minutes - Topic-Based - Interactive Q&A

Why this program?

Provide structured professional development
Support emerging UX talent
Create leadership opportunities for experienced professionals
Strengthen the Triangle UX ecosystem

This is a guided, topic-based mentorship - not casual networking.

How the pilot works

Every two weeks a UX professional will lead a focused session on a topic they are passionate about and experienced in.

Each session includes:

30-40 minutes of topic-based guidance
20-30 minutes of live Q&A and discussion

Participants can register for sessions based on their interests. There is no long-term cohort commitment required for the pilot.

This format allows flexibility while still providing high-value learning.
