The CIRES Mentorship Program will begin again in September. Mentor registration will be open Sept 7 through the 17 with mentee registration occurring from Sept 20 to Oct 1.  This 8-month program is designed to build connections across CIRES and NOAA, foster career development, and enhance a sense of community and belonging within the research institute. Mentors can help navigate career transitions, build your network, brainstorm work/life balance challenges, write a proposal or support career growth – the relationship can be shaped based on your needs! CIRES employees across all career paths, identities and job categories are encouraged to join the program as a mentor or as a mentee. Whether you are an administrator, an educator, a software engineer, a researcher or a federal employee (federal employees can serve as mentors only), the CIRES Mentoring program is seeking your participation. The program is open to all career stages from new arrivals to senior staff; new hires are especially encouraged to join.
