SEED Term Fully Matched (50 Pairs)

All 50 of the SEED Engineering worldwide mentoring program participants (mentees) were matched with mentors as of today (January-June 2008 Established Staff Term). Some Metrics:

    1. 86% of the newly-matched mentors are executives: 16 Vice Presidents (including 3 Fellows), 9 Distinguished Engineers, and 18 Directors (including Senior or Executive Directors).
    2. It took 45 days to match the 50 mentoring pairs (10 December 2007 - 24 January 2008). 78% were matched in the first ten days.
    3. 82% of mentees were matched with one of their top four Mentor Wish List requests. Specifically: 56% were matched with their 1st or 2nd choice mentor. 26% were matched with their 3rd or 4th choice mentor. 18% were matched with their 5th or lower priority mentor.
    4. 64% of mentees were matched with mentors who do not work in the mentee's local area. 32% of the pairs include one or more person who works outside of the USA.
    5. 20% of mentors are female. (18% of mentees are female.)
