The admission campaign for the next group is in full swing.
The program was a great opportunity to network in the engineering field and find a valuable resource to answer all my questions about the profession.
No matter how insecure I am or how many questions I have, my mentor provides guidance with kindness and without judgment. He or she is there to truly support me in building a solid career path in the right direction. Learning about my mentor’s experiences has opened me up to new career opportunities in engineering.
– Oranne Kientz, engineering student and mentee
Wouldn’t you like to expand your professional network? Ask all the questions that are on your mind? Get advice to better focus on your specialization? Or just talk about your passion with someone who understands you?
Nothing beats a constructive exchange of views and ideas with someone who is evolving in your chosen profession. That’s why the OIQ offers a mentoring program. This program provides opportunities to take stock of your professional aspirations, expand your network, and focus on the strengths that can elevate your career.
Still hesitating? Here are four reasons you should sign up for the OIQ’s mentoring program.
Between the hard-won achievements and the big disappointments, there are some days when it’s hard to believe that success is just around the corner! Your mentor is there to support and guide you. Your mentor believes in you and is there to help you flourish and succeed.
We all like our comfort zone. But stepping out of our comfort zone opens us up to learning! Your mentor pushes you to challenge yourself and overcome your fears. Without feeding you ready-made solutions, the mentoring relationship helps you explore various approaches. The result? You surpass yourself without realizing it!
To get an objective view of the engineering profession, you need to know what really happens in practice—this is often the “missing piece” for students! With your mentor, you have access to real-life experience! You will also benefit from what they have learned . . . and the mistakes they have made.
Identifying the key people in your field is hard enough, but approaching them is even harder! Your mentor will help you identify the right networks and give you tips on how to get in touch with them.
