Explain the perspective you can offer

A mentor can describe their actual professional background and the career questions they are comfortable discussing. A profile can link suitable public resources so a newcomer has something to explore before a meeting. Avoid suggesting that one person’s career path represents every role in the maritime sector.

Invite a useful question

Ask the prospective mentee to identify a topic they want to understand, such as the difference between broad career pathways. Keep qualifications, employment requirements and formal applications with their responsible organisations. Tap Tap Go supports the professional connection without promising a job or privileged entry into a role.

Imagine this

A hypothetical scene

A hypothetical student meets a mentor at a careers exhibition. The profile explains the mentor’s background and links public career information. The student returns with a specific question for a discussion rather than expecting the mentor to arrange employment.

Make it practical.
