ISA Mentor Program
The ISA Mentor Program connects early career professionals to more seasoned professionals who are willing to help coach, guide, and share expertise. The program is conducted entirely online. There are no meetings to attend or travel. Participants are from around the world. Relationships between participants can develop and progress at your convenience.
Mentees: The program is open to engineers and technicians currently employed in a plant or engineering center actively designing, installing, or maintaining process control systems with at least one year experience. You must be an ISA member.
Mentors: Any ISA member who is willing to share expertise.
Mentees are expected to submit at least one generic question on using and applying process control each year. The mentors are responsible for answers. All questions and answers must not be vendor/supplier specific and should not disclose the process, type, location, or any other identifying details. The program administrators will filter questions and answers and post them for all participants on ISA Interchange. Program participants will also be asked to be featured InTech magazine articles such as Enabling new automation engineers and Control Talk columns such as How to effectively get engineering knowledge.
The program is designed for practitioners, retirees, and educators whose goal is the best functional use of automation products that are not exclusive to an individual supplier and are not in any way promoting the sales of products from a particular supplier.
Bonus Offer
Participants will receive a complimentary copy of 101 Tips for a Successful Automation Career. Those who submit at least two questions in a year will also receive a complimentary copy of Good Tuning: A Pocket Guide, Fourth Edition.
