The IEEE PES Students & Young Professionals Global Mentoring Initiative will run for a period of 4 months. During this time, mentors will be available on the platform to support and guide their assigned mentees.
Mentors and mentees are required to meet at least once a month and are encouraged to connect more frequently as needed throughout the program. However, mentees should remain flexible and considerate of their mentor’s availability, as mentors may have other professional and personal responsibilities.
