Coming Third Quarter 2023!

Mentoring at Jefferson Lab: Just A Cup
Through the lab’s 2023 Inclusion Survey, employees expressed their desire to have greater access to resources for professional development and career growth. According to the LinkedIn Learning 2022 Workplace Learning Report, "having opportunities to learn and grow is now the number one factor that people say defines an exceptional work environment.”
Leadership at the lab is committed to providing growth and development opportunities for all staff members. Starting in August 2023, the lab will be piloting a mentoring program titled “Just a Cup.”
“Just A Cup” will connect staff to leaders at the lab through an interactive forum. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with three rotating speakers, who will share their career experiences, successes and lessons learned.
Topics will highlight things like:
-
- Exploring different technical or operational roles at the Lab
- How to build a network and find mentors to help you learn and grow
- Discover more about the lab and career opportunities that exist
- Learning a new skill or identifying ways to enhance the skills you have…and more
The goals of these pilot sessions are to: gauge interest in the creation of a formal mentoring program; gain awareness of leadership opportunities; improve professional identity; and expand connections to be outside one’s immediate work area.
HR-Learning & Development team will host three sessions:
August 30 1-2pm
September 20 9-10 am (virtual)
October 11 10-11 am
Tips for each session:
- Come prepared to listen and engage
- Jot down some questions you would like to ask a head of time
- Hold yourself accountable by establishing what you would like to get from the sessions
