CIBSE Mentoring is designed to match professionals who are mentors and mentees, based on their expertise and skills.
Not to be confused with the role of the Sponsor for chartership applications, and aligned with our commitment to supporting members of CIBSE with their professional development, the online platform is open to mentees (individuals looking for a mentor) and to mentors who wish to share their expertise and knowledge with the new generation of professionals. We offer online resources, advice and guidance to help you make the most of the mentoring experience.
A mentor can help a mentee by providing:
- Support and encouragement from an adviser, outside of their work colleagues, who can provide feedback to help them improve their self-confidence and help to find solutions in overcoming new challenges.
- A network of expertise to draw on, which can help to develop a greater understanding of the profession and gain insight into what is recommended to grow professionally.
Please note, CIBSE Mentoring is a membership benefit and is only available to current members of CIBSE (Student, Graduate, Affiliate, Licentiate, Associate, Member or Fellow membership holders). Anyone can become an Affiliate member of CIBSE today and access our online mentoring service.
The platform is designed for the mentorships to be initiated by the mentee.
The Mentoring Platform is a CIBSE-member benefit. It uses the same login credentials.

Career Stages and Mentoring
It is generally recognised that there are five career stages. We wanted to explore which are the best career stages to receive and/or give mentoring.
Could Mentoring Help You Break Free From Workplace Stress?
Decades of research has demonstrated how junior employees benefit from being mentored. Guidance from senior colleagues has also been shown to enhance mentees’ job performance and satisfaction. We know far less, however, about how mentoring might benefit the mentors themselves.
