Kent Engaged and Emerging Professionals is partnering with HR Training and Development to offer a Group Mentoring Program for employees across all campuses. This initiative serves to connect talented leaders with professionals seeking to connect and learn more about an area of expertise.
Kent State faculty and staff are encouraged to participate as a KEEP Group Mentor, whereby one or more mentors work with a group of mentees.
Mentors are required to meet the following criteria:
- Must be a full-time employee
- A minimum of five years work history at the university
- A current satisfactory performance evaluation
- Permission from immediate supervisor
Mentees are required to meet the following criteria:
- Any employee with at least one-year of experience
- Must have a satisfactory performance evaluation
- Must have permission from immediate supervisor
- Must complete a sign-up/permission form prior to participating.
Mentors must contribute a minimum of one hour in the fall or spring to meet with employees across campus who want to learn more and ask questions about your area of expertise. Group meetings can be virtual or in person. After the session, mentors will meet with attendees if both parties decide to continue the connection.
If you are interested in serving as a group mentor, please complete this survey by July 31, 2021. More information for mentees will be forthcoming after finalizing mentor applications.
