Ten Steps for Mentees

Before agreeing to the mentor/mentee relationship:

• Consider carefully your commitment to the mentor program, and your ability to meet the expectations of the program.
• Ensure you have a good understanding of the expectations of the program by committing yourself and following through with your commitment. Attempt to ensure the relationship is one that will reasonably fulfill the expectations of both parties.

After being matched up with a Mentor

• Meet with the mentor to establish the guidelines of the relationship in terms of the duration, schedule, time frames, types of meetings, methods of communication etc.
• Help your mentor to set goals, based on your competencies and skills as determined by your completed self assessment.
• Discuss with your mentor the processes he or she recommends and a plan of action to achieve desired goals.
• Agree on some reasonable goals to be attained with a system for monitoring progress.
• Plan with your mentor the sessions to ensure maximum efficiency.
