Meet-and-Match: A Speed Mentoring Event

26 Nov 2024 • 1 minute read

I'm excited to share that Cadence San Jose's first Meet-and-Match event on September 19 was a great success! The speed mentoring session provided recent college graduates with valuable career guidance from our longer-term employees through intimate discussions. The 15-minute intervals allowed the three mentees and three mentors to engage in deep yet efficient conversations.

Participants appreciated the diversity of career paths represented and found the environment to be a "safe space" for discussing work experiences. The in-person interactions were vital, offering a significant advantage over online mentoring sessions and fostering a warm atmosphere conducive to sharing insights.

Feedback from the participants was overwhelmingly positive:

  • “The setup and discussions were impressive!”
  • “The 15-minute format worked well.”
  • “Mentors were genuinely engaged, helping us support three mentees in just one hour!”
  • “As a mentor, I connected with three recent college graduates, which highlighted common challenges.”
  • “I encourage more events like this! It was a pleasure to connect across various business units. …I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere. I look forward to future events as they nurture emerging professionals.”
  • “Thank you for organizing this fantastic event! I am grateful for the opportunity and excited about the future of our mentoring programs!”

The Meet-and-Match team hopes to continue their efforts and appreciate all those who participated.
