This event is especially designed for graduating university students and young professionals who desire to enhance their knowledge and hand-on experience on hiring process\, career development\, corporate culture\, and leadership. The goal of our program: foster relationships with young students/professionals and provide guidance as they navigate the early challenges of adulthood. Mentoring can be dated back to ancient Greek Mythology\, primarily the story of Mentor from Homer\’s Odyssey. As Odysseus was fighting in the Trojan War\, he put a friend\, Mentor\, in charge of his most prized possession: his son\, Telemachus. Mentor became Telemachus\’ coach\, counselor\, teacher\, protector\, and trusted advisor as he helped him grow from a young man into adulthood while his father was away. The word Mentor eventually evolved from a name into a word meaning trusted advisor\, friend\, teacher\, and wise person. In addition\, history has shown us many examples of successful mentoring relationships: Socrates and Plato\, Hayden and Beethoven\, Freud and Jung. Mentoring is now considered a fundamental form of human development where someone invests their time\, energy\, and personal knowledge in the growth of another person. This program seeks to do exactly that. \nAs a Mentor\, you will have the ability to change a young person\’s life. You will work directly with your mentee(s) to help address a myriad of topics such as: information overload\, work/life balance\, generational issues\, communications\, developing networking skills\, culture transitions\, setting career goals\, bridging the college gap\, and career guidance. These topics are essential to helping our young professionals evolve in to the future leaders of tomorrow. \nSo why become a Mentor? Mentoring isn\’t just useful for the person you are assisting\, but it can help you in various ways. First\, you experience the satisfaction from supporting another human being. Studies have shown that the greatest single aspect of becoming successful and overcoming hardships is through overwhelming support and motivation. This can be observed by little league coaches and their impacts on children\, Boy Scout leaders and their pupils\, and CEO\’s and other executive leaders. Second\, mentors grow themselves! You will hone your development on key skills such as listening\, questioning\, facilitation\, empathizing\, planning\, and confidence. Furthermore\, as you work closer and closer with your mentee(s)\, you will gain a sense of self-reflection. You will notice your own areas of improvement\, your own weaknesses\, and your own strengths. Together\, you will both grow beyond expectations and that is what mentoring is about. \nAs a Mentee\, you will learn from local leaders in a variety of industries. You will work directly with your mentor(s) to get answers on topics that are important to you: setting goals\, engaging in effective communication\, handling conflict in the workplace\, work/life balance\, job seeking skills\, and how to become a strong leader. These of course\, are just a small sample of questions that you may have. As part of the CMP\, the program is designed to put you\, the mentee\, in the drivers’ seat. In addition\, the CMP steering committee will work hard to pair you with a mentor that matches you direct needs and areas of interest. We will evaluate you and your mentor based on the personal activities you share\, the level of education\, the industry you are in\, and the type of mentoring you are looking for. \nSo why become a Mentee? Everyone needs a little help and advice at some point in our lives. Very few (and we mean very)\, have the ability to navigate the complexities of life without needing some external guidance. Through the helping hand of a mentor\, you have the one thing many people do not: a sounding board. Struggling with handling a high intensity job and maintaining a healthy life? We guarantee the mentors have been there. Worried about getting a job upon graduation? Yeah\, they have been there as well. By interacting with a proven industry leader\, your worries will subside as you receive advice from a mentor who has made it. Let them help you cultivate a successful career and help your dreams come true. \nSo what are you waiting for? Apply through the buttons on the right hand side of the website. On behalf of the CIE/USA-DFW Chapter\, we are looking forward to providing you a helping hand. \nGeneral Rules and Guidelines\nGuidelines:\n\nMentee checklist prior to meeting Mentor\n\nDefine your personal goals. Consider the skill set you will need to reach these goals. How can a mentor help you reach these goals?\nPrepare to take initiative in developing Mentor relationship\, and practice active listening\n\n\nMentee & Mentor to learn more about each other\, and best methods to work together\n\nEstablish a meeting cadence between mentee and mentor. Suggested schedule is once every 2 week\, ideally face to face\, or via phone calls\, Text or Email.\nDiscuss formality of meetings: Agenda\, minutes\, action items.\nAgree on communication tools/style. Is texting\, phone calls acceptable on-demand or should everything be scheduled?\nFind commonalities in background\, education\, personal interests\, hobbies\, etc\n\n\nSet Goals & expectations – Build a framework for success\n\nReview the rules together\nUnderstand what Mentor expects and what Mentee expects\nReview mentee’s needs assessment and establish achievable goals for the duration of the program\nDiscuss what success look like\nAgree on how to evaluate outcomes at mid-point and at the end of the program. Document this as early as possible.\nReview time management strategies in lieu of set expectations\n\n\nActions at Mentor’s discretion:\n\nThe Mentor may offer to write the mentee a progress reports to mentee’s managers\nThe Mentor may offer to introduce mentee to hiring managers or directly hire the mentees. Mentors are under no such obligation to directly assist mentees in seeking a job.\n\n\n\nRules:\n\nRespect mentee’s schedule and make every effort to meeting appointments\nBoth mentor and mentee must respect CIE Program Confidentiality\n\nMentoring Confidentiality Statement – “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 purpose of this agreement is to protect both the mentor and mentee from a breach in confidentiality during the mentoring process” \n\nAbide by ethical behavior and rules of etiquette\n\nFAQ\nQuestions before you participate in CIE Mentoring Program (CMP):\n\nWhat is CMP – CIE Mentoring Program?\n\nThe CIE Mentoring Program (CMP) event is one of the long-standing CIE/USA-DFW events featuring “Leadership” and “Career Mentoring” for young professionals.

This event is especially designed for graduating university students and young professionals who desire to enhance their knowledge and hand-on experience on hiring process\, career development\, corporate culture\, and leadership. \nThis year\’s LAMP is planned for 4/9/16\, Saturday\, from 2pm – 5:30pm at UT Dallas SLC 1.102\, and we expect a great audience of 100+ students. LAMP is open to 8 universities in the DFW area for international students to apply\, and our planning team will qualify and interview 6 finalists. On the day of our LAMP seminar\, these 6 finalists will interact with the judges through a mock interview (individual) and a team building exercise where the finalists will be split into 2 teams of three. \nThe role of the 6 judges is to run a 1 on 1 interview with these 6 finalists. Each judge will have 5 minutes to interview 1 finalist (the judge will be matched to a finalist in advance). Afterwards\, the judge will score their performance\, and provide verbal feedback to the finalists. The feedback will help both the finalists and the other audience members learn how to improve in a low-key\, low-consequence interactive session. \nAdditionally\, in the team building session\, the 2 teams are pitching their next generation smartphone to a “group of investors” (the judges). Similarly to the interview\, the role here is to score their performance\, and provide verbal feedback on their teamwork capabilities. \nWe have established a nice scoring approach and will add up all the scores to determine the winners by 4:45pm and announce and award them at the end of the LAMP program. \nLastly\, the 6 Judges come together in a 30 minute Panel Discussion to share their insights on interviewing and address any other questions from the audience. \n2016 LAMP Agenda\n\n2:00 – 2:10 Introduction\n2:10 – 2:45 Keynote Speaker: BNSF Technology AVP\, Muru Murugappan\, on “From Caps and Gowns to the Corner Office”\n2:45 – 3:00 Final Candidate Intro/Elevator Pitch\n3:00 – 3:40 Team Building Exercise (Next Gen.
