Abstract
A topic that seems to keep popping up is how the International System Safety Society can assist with helping new (or maybe not so new) system safety engineers advance their careers by providing mentoring opportunities. The role and importance of mentors and mentoring is a topic that is near and dear to me. I don’t know other people’s challenges and experiences with learning to become competent in a new field, but for me, it typically doesn’t happen until I have had a chance to be mentored by an expert. I can take years of classes, attend conferences, attend workshops, sit through lectures and generally stuff my mind with all sorts of theoretical knowledge, but until I have a chance to work side by side with an experienced and compassionate mentor, it just doesn’t sink in.
