Program Overview
The NAVFAC Mentoring Program is focused on an approach to advising and nurturing that creates a practical Mentoring relationship, between a Mentor and a Mentee, to enhance both the Mentee’s personal and professional development. It provides guidance that contributes to the development of a junior employee’s knowledge, values, practices. Mentors have the potential to assist Mentees in discovering their strengths and weaknesses, formulate a career path, set goals, manage stress, and balance work and personal obligations.
The purpose of the NAVFAC Mentoring Program is to:
-
Provide a mechanism for formal Mentoring where Mentors and Mentees volunteer to establish Mentoring relationships with the intent of fostering professional development of specific skills and competencies
-
Provide learning and development opportunities, resources, and support for Mentors and Mentees to be successful in achieving their goals.
-
Ensure the smooth and seamless mentee transitions into more senior positions by imparting institutional knowledge.
