Build your mentor matching coordinator.

How to build your mentor matching coordinator

1. 1

   Describe the job

   Match learner goals and mentor availability through an explicit acceptance step.

2. 2

   Review the first version

   Choose how the programme coordinator records the mentor availability and how the mentor reviews the next step.

3. 3

   Refine the views

   Ask First to adjust the fields and views for the people who will use the app.

4. 4

   Test before sharing

   Walk through the process with a sample record and check who owns the next action.

What to include in your mentor matching coordinator

• Keep the mentor availability in context

  Keep mentor availability, learner goal, preferences, proposed match, acceptance and review together so the next person can understand the request or record.

• When the next step needs a decision

  A proposed mentor match meets the topic preference but not the learner's time window. Keep the match proposed until both people accept compatible availability.

• Keep review visible

  Keep the proposed match open until both participants accept it.

• Choose what each person needs

  Give the programme coordinator a working view and the mentor a review view. Keep mentor availability and learner goal attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
