When you’re ready to level up your skills, finding or becoming a mentor can be the key to professional development and personal success. A mentoring relationship offers the potential for mutual learning, growing experiences, and a sounding board for advice on your ideas or career goals.

Get started on your mentorship journey by defining your goals and identifying individuals who may be a good match for you:

  • Determine what you’d like to learn. Your goals can include acquiring or refining a skill, learning about an industry where you’d like to work in the future, or shadowing a more experienced professional with qualities you’d like to finesse.
  • Identify a potential mentor or mentee. Leverage personal and professional connections to network or join a professional or volunteer organization to make new connections.
