CIBSE Mentoring is designed to match professionals who are mentors and mentees, based on their expertise and skills.
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.

How mentoring supports training
The mentor is critical to you locking-in and practising your new knowledge and skills, acting as a sounding board and providing you with constructive feedback to support your continual professional development.
The Ripple Effect: Why Mentoring Matters in Façade Engineering
Day to day it is easy to focus on deadlines and deliverables. Mentoring creates a pause that helps me reconnect with the bigger picture, the reason our work matters for people and for the planet. It also reinforces a community mindset. When we help each other, the whole sector moves forward.
Round and round we go!
Sometimes mentees find themselves going round and round, continually raising the same issues but not identifying how they can resolve those issues and move forward – in other words they find themselves stuck. How can a mentor stop the mentee from just going round and round?
