Military Veterans Looking for a Mentor . . . Look At Veterati!
I have been assisting as a mentor on Veterati for a number of months. Veterati is a mentoring site dedicated to assisting military veterans with their military-to-civilian career transition and how to have an effective and rewarding career. It is a staffed with high caliber volunteers serving as mentors and has amazing technology. It is free.
From a DC Innovation Article:
"At its core, Veterati is a platform to connect the veterans in need of a network with volunteer mentors who can help them. The trial stage of the platform put 200 veterans in contact with 800 mentors across a swathe of industries and positions. "We're personally talking to everyone, making sure they are vetted," Wald said. "We look for high-quality expertise."
Veterati takes data about the veterans and potential mentors, using a proprietary algorithm to help match people best suited to meet. Based on responses after a first meeting, Veterati can improve the match if the first pairing wasn't a good fit. There's no quick and easy path from joining Veterati to finding the perfect career as of yet, but that's why the mentors matter."
