General Information: The Patriots Technology Training Center E-Mentoring Program is a new method of mentorship! E-Mentoring is a new method of mentorship which allows students to communicate through technological resources in order to grow educationally, scientifically, and professionally. Our E-Mentoring will focus on careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. We require that our E-Mentoring STEM professionals (adults) commit to serving one year in the program.
Program: Mentees (students) will have the opportunity to evaluate career options and communicate with leaders in their respective fields. Using an online tool to determine the scope of the mentee’s interest, we will coordinate monthly seminars to discuss various topics related STEM fields. The mentee is able to submit unique, personalized questions to be answered by a field expert. This unique interaction provides hands-on opportunities to meet with mentors at Patriots virtual events, allows the mentees to hone in on future career goals and increase exposure to the mentors.
