Are you interested in having a mentor or career coach in occupational hygiene or occupational health? A number of senior level professional members of WHWB have offered their services as mentors to less experienced members.

Are you a credentialed occupational hygienist or occupational physician who would be interested in mentoring a newcomer to the field?

When you think of mentoring, you may think of it in terms of something like the photo above. Although this might be considered the ideal, it really is not practical where most of those desiring mentoring live in areas of the world with few professionals to fulfil the role of mentors. The WHWB mentoring program involves mentoring at a distance using telecommunications software like Skype or Zoom to connect mentors and mentees.

You may benefit from mentoring if you have completed one or more of the OHTA modules in occupational hygiene. Mentoring is also helpful when preparing to write or take certification examinations. In fact, we can all benefit from mentoring throughout our careers.  Often both partners in the relationship report benefits. We often learn best when explaining something to someone else.
