What opportunities are there for mediators?
If you believe that by becoming a mediator your phone will start to ring and people will seek you out, you will be very disappointed. The process of gaining recognition and acceptability as a mediator is a long one, but, nonetheless, very fulfilling. There are many other areas in which you can use the skills acquired in a mediation training program other than just simply mediating. It will help you in your work, in your community, and anywhere that people gather because that is an occasion of conflict and your skills will serve you well. An excellent example of how people can use their skills in conflict resolution can be seen on our sister website: www.conflictavoidance.
