We Take Building Simulation Seriously

Picture
We’re here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark.” - Whoopi Goldberg
Do you have questions about your career, about how to progress, keeping up with the latest technology, coding, writing papers, changing jobs, asking for a raise, building your own business? Do you wish you had someone you could ask about these things?


After sending out a survey in 2017 we discovered that 39% of the respondents answered no to “Do you have a clear understanding of your career or promotion path?” When asked, "if you answered, “no”, what would help you get a clearer understanding?", most respondents voted for mentoring and having a role model to visualize their career path. We also found from the survey that 57% of respondents didn't have a role model or mentor opportunity in their place of work.

We listened to your valuable feedback and IBPSA-USA has launched its first mentoring program!
 IBPSA-USA Equalities Committee has helped launch this program based on volunteering efforts of the committee members and IBPSA-USA staffs.

The Program

Picture
The mentors and mentees are paired for a year and meet for a hour each month. The mentors and mentees will attend training webinar at the beginning of the pairing to explain the program. Pairings will focus on career development and the IBPSA-USA team will provide topics to discuss for the pairs to discuss. We hope that the pairings will develop and flow over time and encourage our pairs to find their own rhythm

“Show me a successful individual and I’ll show you someone who had real positive influences in his or her life. I don’t care what you do for a living—if you do it well I’m sure there was someone cheering you on or showing the way. A mentor.” — Denzel Washington
