Mentoring for people in equipment rental services.
Equipment Rental Services is a real estate and equipment rental services field with its own language, its own way in and its own unwritten rules. A mentorhero session puts a mentee in front of somebody already doing that job for 30 minutes, so the questions get answered by a person instead of a search engine. Property runs on local knowledge and relationships. A mentor hands over both in half an hour.

The things people ask first.
Do the mentors actually work in equipment rental services?
Yes. Matching is done on the work itself, so the mentor either works in equipment rental services now or has spent long enough in it to speak from experience.
What does it cost a mentee?
Nothing. Sessions are funded by our partner organisations, so mentees never pay.
I am changing careers into this field. Is that still a fit?
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons people book. Thirty minutes with somebody inside equipment rental services is the fastest way to find out whether the move is right before you commit to a course.
Can employers in this industry offer sessions to their people?
Yes. Partners fund sessions for their workforce, their candidates and their local community, and get live reporting on hours delivered.
Working in equipment rental services?
