12 Week 1 at Work
First Meeting with Workplace Supervisor / Mentor
The goal of the first meeting is to get to know your mentee and align expectations for your mentoring relationship. Use the first meeting to:
- Overview of required training (HR, Workplace Safety, Cybersecurity etc.)
- Understand expectations for the role
- Determine communication plan (Attendance, questions, etc.)
- Access to workplace technology.
- You can also use the first meeting to talk about your student/employee’s Learning Goals.
- Request weekly or biweekly 1-1 meetings with your direct supervisor/mentor for the next 4 months. It is always a good idea to have a set schedule in place for ongoing feedback and support.
