YOU can be a mentor!
Mentoring can be incredibly rewarding for both you and your community
What is a Mentor?
A mentor is an individual with expertise and has access to experts who can help the Mentee successfully achieve the business or career objectives.
A Tech-Prize mentor specifically has two primary objectives for the Mentee.
- The Tech-Prize Competition related function establishes the Mentor as a coach who provides advice to enhance the Mentee’s performance in the competition and development of the Idea for success beyond the Tech-Prize event.
- The Mentor will also act as a role model and provide a support system for the Mentee.
Both objectives provide explicit and implicit lessons related to the professional development of the Mentee.
Mentor Pledge of Confidentiality.
For a mentoring relationship to develop, both the mentor and mentee must feel that discussions of private issues or problems are being handled with discretion. The Tech-Prize Mentor Pledge of Confidentiality is developed to protect both the mentor and mentee from a breach of confidentiality during the mentoring process.
