Become a Mentor or Mentee

The SETAC Mentoring Program allows explorer and full members to connect with mentors for technical scientific guidance or general career advice. If you would like to get technical or career advice, SETAC mentors can be a valuable resource.

Many experienced members have expressed willingness to mentor others, so do not hesitate to reach out to potential mentors by email and ask them to set a time to discuss your questions. You can search for a mentor based on a technical area of interest, sector or geographic area. You can also meet mentors at various events in-person and online.

How to Get Started
Ensure you are a SETAC member at the explorer or full level
Mentors can identify themselves as such on their SETAC profile.
Mentees can search the membership directory for a suitable mentor and contact them directly.
Develop a Mentor Mentee Relationship

When a mentor and a mentee decide to work together towards a specific goal (perhaps through a career transition or while you acquire a special skill), the mentoring handbook can provide some basic guidance to help guide a mentor–mentee relationship to achieve mutually agreed upon goals, in a mutually agreed upon time frame.
