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
