Mentorship Program Overview

Program Overview:

Program Kickoff: GEC runs mentorship programs in distinct cohort groups. Your batch and timeline will be confirmed by the GEC team. For details, contact info@globalengineersconnect.com.

Social Connect

This stage focuses on community interaction where mentees get on the ground to work on real-world challenges through holistic education modules.

Registration

Candidates apply to join a specific cohort.
Selection is based on an assessment to ensure mentees are genuinely interested and committed to the program.
Selected mentees are grouped into teams.

Training and Planning

Each team is assigned one of our holistic education modules, designed to equip school students with real-world skills in a fun and interactive way.
These modules cover areas like entrepreneurship, financial literacy, STEM, environmental sustainability, leadership, and digital literacy.
During training, mentees learn how to effectively deliver sessions, engage students, and handle real-world challenges.
For example: A team assigned the Entrepreneurship Module will learn how to guide students through a Kids’ Business Fair, where they create and sell products. A team working on the Financial Literacy Module will practice explaining banking, loans, and taxes through role-playing activities.
After training, teams plan the logistics for implementation, considering factors like teaching materials, student engagement strategies, and co-ordination with school authorities.

Execution & Retrospection

Mentees visit government schools and implement the holistic education modules.
They engage with students, apply their learnings, and gain hands-on experience in problem-solving and community impact.
After implementation, mentees provide feedback on the module, sharing insights on how it can be improved for future cohorts.

Mentorship

After completing the Social Connect Phase, mentees transition into a structured mentorship experience, where they receive personalized career guidance and professional development opportunities.

Mentor-Mentee Pairing

Mentees are paired with a dedicated mentor based on their career goals, interests, and skill development needs.
The pairing process ensures aligned learning objectives, so mentees can receive guidance from mentors with relevant expertise.

Mentorship Begins

1:1 Mentorship begins where mentees book sessions with their assigned mentors within a specified time window after which session booking opens for flash mentorship where mentees can interact with mentors of their choice for a specified need on a FCFS basis.
Ignite sessions for career guidance and professional development take place in parallel in a group setting.
