Games Industry Mentoring 101 for Mentors and Mentees
The video game industry is highly collaborative. Every project requires collaboration across different disciplines and skill levels, demanding excellence and constant improvement from all developers involved. And one of the best ways to hone one's skills is through either working with a mentor or mentoring the younger generation. At its best, mentoring has the power to instill confidence, expand knowledge, and change the lives of both parties. nnThis session will explore what it takes to be an aspirational mentor and mentee. Relying on industry knowledge and research derived from interviews with industry members, Alexa and Natalie cover the intricacies of priming yourself for mentorship opportunities, how to ensure you're a reliable and supportive mentor, networking for mentorships, do's and don'ts for fostering an ideal mentor/mentee relationship, and what actions to take after a fruitful mentorship.
