As a mentor in our flagship program, we recognize that our mentees may be new to this experience, while our mentors are seasoned professionals. In order to ensure a consistent and positive experience for all participants, we have established the following SOPs:

• Orientation: Please assist mentees in acclimating to the program.
• Scope: We ask that you limit your mentorship to the identified areas. If you would like to venture beyond these domains, kindly notify.
• Authenticity: We encourage the mentors to share their personal experiences with the mentees and show them the reality of the profession.
• Dual Perspectives: Provide mentees with both sides of the coin and allow them to experience the journey with you.
• Guidance: It is important to guide mentees in making their own decisions, rather than making decisions for them.
• Agreement: Collaboratively establish ground rules for the mentor-mentee relationship, including meeting schedules and communication patterns.

As a mentee in our program, it is important to follow these guidelines during the onboarding process:

• Professional Development: Remember that the goal of this program is to help build your professionalism, and not to secure an increment or promotion.
• Respect Mentor Obligations: Acknowledge that your mentor has other commitments beyond this program. Please be honest and transparent with them throughout the mentorship.
• Guidance: Allow your mentor to guide you through the program and provide feedback as needed.
• Unique Mentor Style: Refrain from comparing your mentor’s unique style to that of others, including information obtained through online searches.
• Avoid Venting: Avoid using mentorship as an opportunity to vent, and instead focus on utilizing it as a special opportunity to grow and learn.

Following these guidelines will help to ensure a positive and productive experience for both you and your mentor.
