Starting SEED Mentor Matching Cycle

We started the mentor matching cycle on 11 March for the new SEED worldwide Engineering Established Staff term. Already, eight executives and senior Engineers have accepted match requests. Two pairs came into the program with prior understandings that they would work together. 39 participants are still in the process of being matched with mentors. All participants will be matched, most within the next three weeks.

Metrics

The eight newly matched mentors include three Distinguished Engineer/Directors, one Distinguished Engineer/Vice President, one Fellow/Vice President, one Vice President, one Principal Engineer/Director and a Senior Staff Engineer. The geographical pairings so far include:

    • Itasca, IL USA with Burlington, MA USA
    • Menlo Park, CA USA with Houston, TX USA
    • Menlo Park, CA USA with Santa Clara, CA USA two pairs
    • Montbonnot Saint Martin, France with Prague, Czech Republic
    • Santa Clara, CA USA with Burlington, MA USA
    • Seattle, WA USA with Santa Clara, CA USA
    • Somerset, NJ USA with Universal City, CA USA

Next Terms

SEED runs seven terms a year. The next terms will be for PreSEED and GSS SEED. Applications for PreSEED and GSS SEED will be accepted starting at the end of March 2009 - the terms will run June-December 2009. Those terms will be followed by an Established Staff term plus the year-long term for Recent Hires (applications in June, terms to start in September 2009).
