Mentoring is an extremely beneficial career development tool that the University at Buffalo can leverage given your participation! Studies have shown that having a mentor is a top factor affecting an employee’s success, career satisfaction, and whether they stay with an organization. With your participation as either a mentor or a protégé, the University at Buffalo can be stronger professionally.
The goal of the program is to provide formal or informal mentoring to UB Professional Employees. The program allows protégés to match with mentors from UB’s professional staff who have the experience, knowledge and insight that assists the protégé in meeting their goals. These goals may be in career, leadership or professional development areas, skills/organizational development, project completion, community involvement, exploring issues such as interpersonal relationships or goal setting. Active mentoring supports employee goals and development, and ultimately, UB’s mission.
