Empower yourself and others via NI Nuclear Mentoring
Nuclear Mentoring connects Nuclear Institute members at all stages of their careers.
Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting out, this is a valuable opportunity for giving and/or receiving support.
Harness the power of your NI network.
Nuclear Mentoring is is for supporting any career or personal development goal. Whether it's public speaking, starting out in the nuclear industry, transitioning into a leadership role, improving self-confidence at work, getting Chartered and more.
It's not just for becoming a Member (MNucI)! Though that is one of many things it can help with, if you're looking for that.
Take the difficulty and admin out of the matching process. Search by any of 100+ different skills to find your ideal mentor (or if you're a mentor, the ideal mentee).
We genuinely believe that anyone can be a mentor, and it's the ideal volunteering role for anyone who's looking to develop the qualities of a future leader.
Young professional? Ideal mentor for a student. Retired? Decades of experience honing interpersonal skills. Member of an under-represented group in nuclear? We need you!

Why Become a Mentor?

- Anyone can be a mentor
- The PushFar platform + app makes mentoring easy
- Create your profile and select the exact areas of skill or knowledge that you can support with
- Clearly define the type of support you can offer. Maybe you have time to meet regularly for 6 months, or maybe you can only offer one-off chats on specific topics (e.g. Chartership). You decide what you can commit to and how much time you can give. You can also set the number of mentees so that you aren't approached when at capacity

Why Become a Mentee?
- Mentees are 5 times more likely to be promoted than those with no mentor
- Boost your confidence
- Expand your network
- Find the right mentor for you with our PushFar platform
- Create a profile using our unique matching system; input the skills and talents you're seeking support with
- Specify if there's a particular area of nuclear that your mentor should have experience in
- Define the type of relationship you're seeking (is it a 6 month stint to build certain career goals or a 1 time chat to check your Chartership application), and more.
- The platform will only suggest matches who match some or all of your criteria and only those who aren't at capacity. So potential matches should be right for you. And if you find that your mentor isn't right for you (not everyone "clicks"), all you need to do is politely end the relationship and search again
- Quickly and easily arrange virtual meetings by using the PushFar app's instant messaging function. Book in your meetings using the platfom's videoconference software or use external apps like Teams
- Log your meetings in the app and get recognition from the NI for taking part and for completing a relationship
