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.

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.

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. \n\nWho is CIE/USA-DFW Chapter – the host of CMP?\n\nCIE/USA-DFW Chapter was established in January 1989 and registered in the state of Texas as a non-profit organization in 1992\, and has been very active in the Metroplex since then. We focus on promoting the community interest in Science\, Technology\, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). \n\nHow long will CMP last?\n\nCMP is actively supported by CIE/USA-DFW for 2 semesters from September to April. The time depends on the goals and availability of the participants. Participants may choose to continue their relationship beyond the CIE-supported time frame on their own. \n\nIs there any sign-up cost?\n\nNo\, participants are responsible for any expense that may be incurred. \n\nIf I am not able to continue with the mentoring program after it started\, what should be the next step?\n\nIf you are really unable to continue\, we suggest you meet with the Mentoring Program Manager (MPM). \n\nCan I claim any expenses?\n\nNo\, participants are responsible for any expense that may be incurred. \n\nWill we need to meet face-to-face?\n\nIt’s up to you. It can be in person\, via phone\, e-mail\, web meeting\, or other form of communication. \n\nIf I don’t feel the relationship/match is working\, what should be the next step?\n\nPlease contact the MPM to discuss the issues and next steps. Please use the provided email address (ciementoringprogram@gmail.com) or call (469-647-9386) \n\nCan I be both a mentor and mentee?\n\nNo\, you can only be one of them. \nAs a mentor:\n\nWhat are the mentor qualifications/requirements?\n\nWe require mentors to have at least 10 years of experience as a professional and currently have a leadership role within your organization. \n\nDo I need to be a CIE/USA-DFW life time member in order to be a mentor?\n\nNo\, you don’t. You are very welcome to become a CIE life time member but it is not necessary. \n\nAm I expected to schedule meetings with the mentee?\n\nNo\, this program is mentee-driven and scheduling meetings is an expectation of the mentee. \n\nWhat happens if the mentee is not responsive?\n\nIf the Mentee has not responded after a month\, please reach out to the MPM. \n\nWho can I contact for mentoring resources & training?\n\nPlease contact the MPM to discuss resources that are available. \n\nWill CIE be willing to inform my management that I am volunteering as a mentor?\n\nIf you would like\, the CIE will gladly notify your management or anyone else with your involvement in the program. \n\nWill the mentor’s personal information be kept confidential and secure?\n\nYes. All applicants are expected to comply and respect each other’s privacy. \n\nHow big is each mentoring group\, one to one or one to many?\n\nThe current goal of the program is to provide mentees with private 1:1 mentoring. However\, if mentors are willing to lead mentoring circles in order to allow more mentees to be part of the program\, we may consider both 1 on 1 and mentoring circles. \n\nAs a mentor\, how much time am I expected to spend communicating with my mentee?\n\nThere is no set expectation on time commitment. In general\, we recommend mentees and mentors to agree on meeting frequency and to be respectful of each other’s availability.
