Here are a few questions to reflect on and help you determine if now is a good time for you to participate in our mentoring program:
- Are there educational experiences (e.g. degrees, certificates, designations) that align with your career path and are these completed or in-progress?
- Have you participated on departmental and/or cross-departmental committees, special projects to broaden your knowledge and experience?
- Are you ready to drive the agenda for meetings with your mentor, take responsibility for the direction of the partnership, while remaining open to what the mentor sees/offers?
If you answer yes to all three, then you are on the readiness path for a mentoring relationship.
More about Readiness:
The Education, Experience and Exposure model for development recognizes that to go from beginner to expert, there are different ways of learning that all work together. You get the most from each type of learning at different stages of your career development journey.
Mentoring is a type of exposure learning activity, and is typically the last of the three approaches as it requires a reasonable skill level to be effective.
For more detailed information, please enroll in the elearning module, which provides a more in-depth approach to evaluating your readiness and provides full details of the program.
