If your role has access to the mentorship feature, Career Explorer can help you find and connect with mentors across the organization. If you don’t have any mentors yet, the Career Explorer home page shows the Match me with a peer mentor card and the Match me with a senior mentor card.
Peer mentors are people at the same level as you who have similar skills and goals. Senior mentors are people at a higher level who can guide you in advancing your career. Currently, only the Match me with a peer mentor card is active.
When you’re matched with a mentor, they’re shown in the Mentorship section of the Career Explorer home page. You can click your mentor’s card to do the following:
- Review your mentor’s details, including their skills, location, and mentorship status.
- Review potential discussion topics for you and your mentor.
- Update your career profile.
- Email your mentor directly by clicking Send a message.
If Career Explorer can’t find a match, you’re given the chance to either invite people to join the mentorship program or wait for more people to join on their own. While Career Explorer is looking for a match, a card is shown in the Mentorship section to let you know that a match is being generated. When a match is found, the card is replaced with the mentor’s card, and you’re notified that you have a match.
Find Your First Peer Mentor
When you request a peer mentorship match, Career Explorer looks for employees who have similar skills and goals.
To find your first peer mentorship match:
- Go to Career Explorer.
- Click the Match me with a peer mentor card.
- Click Allow and continue to consent to sharing your skills with your peers. Career Explorer then looks for a match and saves your consent in your sharing preferences.
For more information about reviewing and managing your sharing preferences, see Your Peer Community Sharing Preferences.
Find Additional Peer Mentors
After your first mentorship match in Career Explorer, you’re given the chance to find additional mentors.
You can have up to three peer mentors at a time. If you already have three matches, you can’t add a new one until you end an existing match. See End Mentorship Matches.
To find additional peer mentorship matches:
- Go to Career Explorer.
- In the Mentorship section, click the Add another peer mentor card.
