Hello All!

Welcome to the Mentoring Feature and Forum

It’s been a long time in the making. We are finally ready to share the exciting new ‘Mentoring Feature’ with the Champs before we release it to everyone else.

Although, we’ve been helping each other informally from Waze’s earlier years, the real leap happened back in 2014 with the Formal Mentoring program. I didn’t think my Formal Mentoring presentation would go beyond USA. But, here we are. After 5 years and many improvements later we are ready to share it with you to test and give your feedback. You can find more about this feature here

Please let us know if you find any bug(s) or ways to improve it. You can use this sheet: http://bit.ly/Waze_Mentor for your comments and feedback.

Thank you

Orbitc.

So how do I enable this?

I don’t see the button.

As I understood correctly, it is yet to be released to all mentors, right? :roll:

4

I do not see the button as well.

Hi Orbitc, thanks for coordinating the group. Do you think it is good to add a ‘Date’ column on the spreadsheet so we know the comment’s date?

5

No button too

Ask for yourselves through the CAR form.

It worked for me.

It’s a pity you can add only fresh editors and you can’t actually add any user that you desire

so CAR is not a proper way now (as i was told in CAR) for mentor requests, people who are interrested should fill this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSer6rG96MyUSh0boOwhMkeip6TYvMYoe1IaNH7WjlXYaUuKMg/viewform

EDIT: i see now that Hadas already mentioned it in this post https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=212&t=275367#p1916254

Hi orbitc

Can I share this presentation with the Brazil Mentors group? I would like to organize with the group the whole process of mentoring.

thanks

Absolutely.

Everyone,
Now, you should be able to see an option to add a mentor in CAR.
Thanks

Does that mean we can add all mentors who are not GCs?

12

I would still be selective who I would add, as this is still in its testing phase.

13

I have requested 3 SK GC’s (including me) to become mentors via CAR, we were not added as mentors, but i was told to ask for it via a form made for it, which i did right away. We are still not added as mentors. Should i really make a CAR request again?!?!? I thought 2 times was enough. :evil:

14

Once you requested via CAR, it takes afew days for it to be processed. I’ll check those requests and get back to you.

Hi Everyone,
Some of you used CAR form to be added as mentor but yet to see the mentoring feature. It looks like to issue is the missing “state/city” info. Please make sure specify your state or city when using CAR form.
Thanks
Orbit

We dont have states, should i use country name instead?

17

So today Hadas explained me the current situation, that mentoring for now does not support country as a whole. Only smaller parts, e.g. states, or in our case districts. My question is what about countries without such a division, they do not have chance to be part of mentoring program? Or only if country already have states, then states have to be specified?

Hi guys
any news in releasing the mentoring tool? According to Magali in this post, there have been changes and just fill out the form. Can I understand that I can share with our mentors?

thanks

Do not rush.
It doesn’t work last month for me and my colleague. We can’t add/invite or delete any mentees.

Hi All, Is this mentoring only open to GC’s at the moment? I can see some of the information, but other parts appear to only be visible to GC’s. I am interested in setting up some mentoring in the UK.
Thanks
