e b o BW

The SWE Mentor Network is a private network for only SWE members that helps facilitate mentoring relationships. SWE members at all levels are able to offer mentoring services, receive mentoring, or even act as both a mentor and mentee.

There’s a few different ways to sign up:

  • Log in to the SWE member portal, select ‘More’ from the top menu, and then click on ‘Mentor Sign-up’ or ‘Mentee Sign-up.’ If you are interested in both roles, please sign up as a mentor. You will be able to accept bookings from mentees, as well as schedule mentoring sessions with other mentors.
  • Keep an eye out for signup links in SWE’s weekly Monday newsletter.
  • Or reach out to membership@swe.org so we can verify your SWE membership and send you an invite!
