To participate in your Mentor Match program, you must enroll as a Mentor or Mentee (or both) before you'll be able to request a mentoring relationship with another enrolled user. As a Mentor, you'll have the opportunity to share your knowledge with Mentees; as a Mentee, you'll benefit by gaining insight from someone with years of experience in a particular field.
How to enroll as a Mentor
NOTE: Prior to following these steps, complete your main user profile as much as possible: Make sure your contact information is up to date, you've uploaded a recent professional profile picture, and you've expanded on your bio, education, and job history information. Having a complete and accurate profile is crucial to the success of selection and matching.
With the default site configuration, navigate to Participate > Engage in Mentoring on your site's main Navigation Bar. Then, click your site's Enroll as a Mentor link.
On the resulting page, begin by selecting the program demographics best suited for you. The demographics available to you are configured specifically for your organization, and are likely different than what are shown in the image below. Keep in mind the more information you provide, the better your matches will be with potential Mentees, as these demographics are what they'll use to search for a Mentor.
Next, fill out the information in the Mentor Status area at the bottom of the page, and when you're finished, click Save to complete your enrollment.
At this point, you'll want to set up your Mentor profile so Mentees can learn more about you. See Set Up Your Mentor/Mentee Profile for more information.
