The Community team is calling for volunteer Talent Connect Mentors to lead weekly Talent Connect sessions, which are held for Andelans joining a new client engagement. The Community team schedules these sessions and invites mentors to speak with Andelans who have little or no prior knowledge of working with Andelan clients and share tips on being successful on an engagement.
These sessions are held via Zoom and have helped improve the client-technologist onboarding experience for mentees. They have also provided mentees with insights into what to expect during their client journey and how to plan to achieve optimum performance. Ultimately, they have created a safe space for answers to burning questions before mentees kick off their opportunity.
