SOE launches mentoring platform for engineers
A new mentoring platform from the Society of Operations Engineers (SOE) has been launched in support of the next generation of engineers.
The platform connects SOE members with experienced mentors from diverse engineering fields, including road transport, providing an opportunity for knowledge-sharing and career development.
Ahead of its launch, over 90 engineering experts registered their interest in becoming mentors. The platform, built on PLD Mentoring Software, leverages advanced matching technology to pair mentees with mentors based on specific skills and expertise, ensuring a tailored and impactful mentoring experience.
Robin Bates, Membership and Professional Standards Lead, said: “We’re thrilled to offer this platform as an additional benefit to our members. Mentorship is a cornerstone of professional growth, and by bringing together experts from all corners of engineering, we’re fostering a community that drives innovation and excellence.”
The initiative is envisioned to be particularly valuable for students, apprentices and early-career engineers seeking guidance and support as they navigate the industry. Mentoring also gives seasoned engineers a chance to share their knowledge with the future generation of engineering mavericks.
With 30 registered mentors, 18 of which have already fully completed their profiles, and consumed 40 training videos between them, SOE invites engineering professionals, from seasoned experts to young engineers, to join the platform and explore how the industry can share knowledge and support career growth.
