It's been a great journey. I have found some one I can talk to about some of the challenges I face and how to overcome them. Having an experienced mentor helps to provide guidance.

Mentee

I have gone from having vague and irrelevant discussions about geology to having specific discussions about what expectations I have for the future. My mentor has been fantastic and he has made my experience of this program highly enjoyable.

Mentee

The mentoring structure, where the goal is for the mentee to find their own answers in their own way, has been very helpful. I am applying it to the team members that report to me.

Mentor

It’s a fantastic initiative to allow development for the mentee and the mentor allowing both to reach out in a safe setting set up by AusIMM.
