Mentoring for people in IT system installation and disposal.

IT System Installation and Disposal is a professional 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. Professional services still recruit heavily on polish and contacts. Mentoring levels both.

Questions

The things people ask first.

Do the mentors actually work in IT system installation and disposal?

Yes. Matching is done on the work itself, so the mentor either works in IT system installation and disposal 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 IT system installation and disposal 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.
