CREATE Mentor Registration
Time Commitment:
Industry professionals from the design, engineering, construction, and trades will be invited by high school instructors during the fall semester to attend at least two 60-minute mentoring sessions. Some mentors choose a greater involvement by serving as the project manager which includes up ten 60-minute sessions. You may select which role is best for you. The program culminates with a competition and awards lunch in early December,
Your Role:
Mentoring will include a short career presentation including what you do and why you love it, as well as guidance for the student's project as it relates to your particular discipline. You can also invite students to a field trip (virtual or in person pending restrictions) at one of your job sites or offices.
Teams will need support as they plan, design, and develop their projects during the course of 10 sessions. Competition preparation help is a great way to support a school team.
A Lead Mentor/Coach role will include assisting the instructor with the field trip locations, inviting mentors to join sessions, and helping to empower students to complete deliverables on time.
Thank you for your service to the next generation of the industry!
