Call for IEEE Mentors! Opening 14 July 2006, IEEE is offering its members the opportunity to participate in an online program which will facilitate the matching of IEEE members for the purpose of establishing a mentoring partnership. By volunteering as a mentor, individuals use their career and life experiences to help other IEEE members in their professional development. As a mentee, you lead your partnership by selecting your mentoring partner from among those who have volunteered to serve in this capacity. We ask that you review the time and effort commitment to the program to ensure a successful mentoring partnership.
Presently, IEEE is offering potential Mentors, like you, the opportunity to enter the program first. IEEE has partnered with The Training Connection, a vendor that has developed a web-based mentoring program to facilitate the matching process. Participation in the program is voluntary and open to all IEEE members above the grade of Student Member.
If you are interested, please go to http://www.ieee.org/mentoring for information on the roles and responsibilities of each mentoring partner, the program, as well as additional information on time and effort commitments. To access the online program site visit the IEEE Membership Benefits page listed under Core Benefits “New for 2006” at http://www.ieee.org/web/membership/benefits/index.html. This will then take you to the online mentoring program site. We encourage you to take advantage of the IEEE network of technical professionals and sign up for the online mentoring program today.
If you have any questions, please contact Cathy Downer, IEEE Mentoring Program Coordinator, at c.downer@ieee.org
