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.
The platform is designed for the mentorships to be initiated by the mentee.
