Abstract
Join us for an engaging conversation where we’ll explore essential aspects of mentoring, particularly within the tech landscape. Mentoring is one of the most effective forms of supporting professional development. It allows you to create tailor-made solutions. What makes it increasingly popular and how you can benefit from it?

We would like to talk about:

Technical and soft skills: how can mentors support mentees in developing technical and interpersonal skills?

Two-way learning: the mentor-mentee relationship as a mutual learning experience (including reverse mentoring).

Diversity and inclusion: how mentoring can address the unique challenges faced by underrepresented groups and help create an inclusive technology community.

Structured programs vs. informal mentoring: pros and cons of both ways of experiencing mentoring

Individual goal setting: how mentees’ individual goals can align with organizational needs?

If you have experience as a mentor or mentee and want to share it, join us. If you want to contribute another thread - let us know!
