Apprentices will have a variety of mentors throughout their careers. These mentors can be divided into two categories—those that are assigned related to a specific task or job, and those that are chosen strategically by the mentee. Whether they are assigned or chosen, there are important ways for apprentices to be successful, such as:

• working effectively with your mentor,
• using good communication and conflict resolution skills,
• understanding the mentor’s perspective, and
• advocating for your learning needs.

The six-step mentorship process described in the WIRED Guide to Mentorship can be used by new apprentices and seasoned electricians alike to get the most out of apprenticeship, either as a mentee or a mentor.

Enrollment for this course can be completed directly through Moodle, WJETS’ Learning Management System.
