IEEE has recently launched a new mentoring service called IEEE MentorCentre.

This product allows individuals seeking a professional mentoring partnership to identify potential mentors based upon their specialized area of practice, level of experience, Societal affiliation, or a number of other factors. Similarly, those willing to give back to the profession can register as a mentor. This new service replaces the Mentoring Connection product formerly offered to IEEE members.
