Get ready to enhance your career with the ENABLE Engineering mentoring program – a structured program where you will be connected with another academic for one-on-one conversations on career planning, goal setting, overcoming personal and professional challenges, and other related topics of interest.
You will also participate in tailored training and group sessions with a diverse range of Engineering academics to share and learn from each other's experience. Enable also provides you with resources related to different mentorship capabilities that enable you to develop mastery.
Mentorship? What's that?
In the context of Enable, we define mentoring as a relationship which gives people the opportunity to share their professional and personal skills, including their experiences, and to grow and develop in the process.
A quality mentorship relationship is based on encouragement, openness, mutual trust, respect, and a willingness to learn and share. Importantly, mentorship relationships recognise the importance of life-long learning. We believe there are as many benefits to the mentor as there is to the mentee from a quality mentorship relationship .
What can you expect from being part of the ENABLE mentoring program?
- Develop your professional skills and network
- Learn from other academics who want to share their expertise, experience and industry knowledge
- Explore potential career paths and jobs you may never have considered
- Find out what people actually do in different academic roles and the direction career paths can take
- Learn tools and strategies to overcome personal and professional challenges

One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination. - John C. Maxwell
