NEOWIT MENTOR -MENTEE Program
NEOWIT’s mentorship program is structured to provide a supportive environment where both mentors and mentees can grow professionally and personally through collaboration and goal-oriented interactions.
- Facilitated Matches: NEOWIT will take an active role in matching mentors and mentees based on their interests and goals. This ensures that the mentorship pairs are well-suited to work together effectively.
- Mutually-Defined Goals: The program emphasizes achieving goals that are defined by both mentors and mentees together. This collaborative approach ensures that the mentorship is meaningful and relevant to the mentee’s needs.
- Ongoing and Independent Program: The mentorship is structured to be continuous and self-driven. This means that once a match is made, the mentorship relationship can evolve independently with support from NEOWIT as needed.
- Goal Setting and Expectation Management: Participants are encouraged to openly discuss their personal goals and define their expectations from the mentorship. This clarity helps in setting up a framework for success and ensures that both parties are aligned in their objectives.
- Collaborative Approach: The Program encourages collaboration between mentors and mentees. This could involve regular meetings, feedback sessions, skill-building exercises, and other activities aimed at achieving the defined goals.
- Feedback and Continuous Improvement : NEOWIT team members will schedule checkpoints with mentor and mentee quarterly for feedback on the program
