Mentoring Guidebook

Summary

This paper developed by the Transportation Learning Center is a guidebook for how to be an effective mentor.

Description

​​Mentoring provides an excellent training opportunity because it links an experienced person (mentor) with a less experienced trainee to help foster the trainee’s abilities, career development, and professional growth. A structured mentoring process requires that the mentor and trainee work together in actual work settings to reach specific learning goals and to provide sufficient feedback to ensure that goals are reached. With so many highly experienced transit technicians on the verge of retiring, mentoring offers those individuals an opportunity to pass on their vast amount of experience to others. Although not all highly proficient technicians have what it takes to become mentors, there are those with right attributes to provide excellent on-the-job training in real-world job settings.
