We are considering the development of a mentoring program as part of our
new programmer training program. In the past, all 30 students received
the same instruction and worked on an identical program. During the
training, they were sometimes told that certain aspects of what they
learned would be different in the departments to which they would be
assigned. Students complained that the instruction was a waste of time
and confusing because of the significant differences in the departments.
We would like to address this need by having each student do a project
relevant to the department in which they will work. We want the
departments to develop this project according to our parameters and guide
the student in completing it.
I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience in designing and
implementing a mentoring program. Any references to books or on-line
resources are appreciated, too.
Thank you
Ann Reilly
