Program Information

Engineering IT Mentoring Program

The Engineering IT Mentoring program’s objective is to support the professional development of our staff by mentoring areas such as occupational maturity, relationship building, institutional knowledge, and career exploration.  Ideally, the Engineering IT Mentoring program helps staff develop relationships and enables them to advance towards long-term career goals.

On the heels of a very successful User Services Mentoring program, which ran for 5 years, Engineering IT is expanding and enriching our mentorship opportunities.

Key improvements to our offerings:

  • Mentors from across Engineering IT: Staff with 5+ years’ professional experience are eligible (and encouraged!) to be mentors.
  • More types of mentoring: in addition to traditional mentorship focused on overall professional development, we are seeking to expand to deeper, but narrower focus into specific fields, and to connect those seeking topic-based assistance from experts.
  • No time limits: Each mentoring pair will discuss the mentee’s goals and determine together the frequency and duration of their meetings, as well as the overall length of the mentoring relationship
  • Self-Matching: Mentors will list the topics they can mentor on, and mentees can sign up based on the skills and knowledge they’d like to gain.

Now that we have your interest, request a mentor. If you have questions about the program or need assistance getting in contact with a mentor, contact the mentoring team.
