IEEE and Global Talent Mentoring Working Together to Further Talent Mentoring in STEMM

Glob­al Tal­ent Men­tor­ing, an online men­tor­ing pro­gram based in Ger­many and the Unit­ed Arab Emi­rates facil­i­tat­ing advanced tal­ent devel­op­ment and inno­va­tion in sci­ence, tech­nol­o­gy, engi­neer­ing, math­e­mat­ics, and the med­ical sci­ences (STEMM), will col­lab­o­rate with IEEE on a new effort to pair pro­fes­sion­al tech­nol­o­gists with aspir­ing stu­dents. Men­tors from across the globe will have a unique oppor­tu­ni­ty to sup­port tal­ent­ed youth regard­less of their geo­graph­i­cal, finan­cial, and cul­tur­al back­ground by shar­ing their exper­tise and pro­vid­ing pos­si­ble oppor­tu­ni­ties for col­lab­o­ra­tion on sci­en­tif­ic research stud­ies. The pro­gram is designed to pro­vide improve­ments to exist­ing STEMM tal­ent devel­op­ment and encour­age an envi­ron­ment that pro­vides an avenue for mak­ing a broad­er impact on soci­ety by shar­ing STEMM exper­tise with the next gen­er­a­tion of lead­ers. IEEE and Glob­al Tal­ent Men­tor­ing will work togeth­er to iden­ti­fy STEMM-expert men­tor vol­un­teers from across the globe to bet­ter serve the needs of the out­stand­ing young mentees in the men­tor­ing pro­gram. Men­tors will be expect­ed to make an annu­al com­mit­ment to the program.
