A successful mentoring relationship requires time and commitment, and you’ll be responsible for following up with your mentor and leading the relationship.
This relationship lasts as long as necessary and you’re likely to be in touch several times as you explore your professional registration options.
Why register for a mentor?
- Gain a different perspective and get challenged based on mentor experience.
- Receive encouragement, motivation and help to set and achieve goals.
- Improve your professional outlook and attitude.
- Learn to think critically and challenge your assumptions.
- Enhance your career and professional development.
- Overcome obstacles and learn to navigate common pitfalls.
Is a mentor right for me?
Mentoring is about long-term, competence development towards professional registration. A mentor can provide ongoing support as members gain experience and record this against the professional registration requirements. If you want to find out more about registration before you commit, you can register for one of our professional registration webinars.
If you are starting to write an application or believe that you are ready for Professional Registration, then a Professional Registration Advisor (PRA) may be a better resource to support members through the application process. You can use our search to find and contact an advisor to help with your application.
How do I register?
Applying for a mentor won’t cost you a thing because it’s part of your member benefits.
This means you’ll need to be a member working in an engineering or technology role to apply.
Simply download the mentee registration form, and send it to the mentoring team with a copy of your CV.
We'll contact you to talk about your next steps.
Because demand is high, it could take a few weeks for us to find the right mentor for you.
