Mentoring MATC Information Technology Students

MATC’s Spring IT Mentoring program has begun.

I met at MATC after work about a month ago for their Spring IT Women’s Mentoring program. There were about 6 mentors and 18 students interested in learning more about day-to-day activities of those in the information technology field.

Each mentor spoke about their background, how they came into information technology, and what roles they’ve represented. We then had a breakout session where students approached mentors, and asked them some additional in-depth questions. At the end of the session, students and mentors decided which pairs were a fit, and we were off to the races.

My student is a meteorology professional who is also interested in web development. We hope to meet at least monthly if not more. Our first meeting is scheduled after work on
February 20, 2007.

Please revisit this posting to learn more about our discussions. Also, please contact MATC’s information technology department if you’re interested in becoming involved with their women’s mentoring program.
