How do they progress onto the next milestone?
Progressing through milestones are loop based, meaning participants can be at different milestones if they have multiple connections. They progress automatically based on the interactions they have with their mentoring partner.
They are guided within their 1:1 loop which provide detail into how they are able to achieve the milestone they are in.
Milestones are loop-based, and can be achieved through:
-
Getting matched to their mentoring partner
-
Arranging their first meeting and completing the post-meeting survey
- Building momentum after the first mentoring meeting
- Sharing positive sentiments about each other and sharing their mentoring journey
Is there a time limit to progress to the next milestone?
No, participants can progress through their milestones at a pace that suits them. However, the Milestone Insights will show the Program Coordinator on the dashboard how many participants have been in a particular milestone for more than 21 days.
You can filter for those participants and reach out to provide extra support. Mentorloop has provided you with some tips and sample communications if participants need assistance in finding a match or a nudge to schedule their first meeting.
How do I see a specific participant’s milestones?
To view a participant's progress towards completing a particular milestone, navigate to the Participants page on the left navigation bar. Individual participant progression is visible to you within their summary card under the Info section tab.
You can also use the filter ‘Mentoring Milestone’ to see a breakdown of participants on each milestone.
Do mentors and mentees get the same milestones?
All participants will see the same milestone stages, but the actions required to proceed through the milestones will differ depending on whether they are a mentor or a mentee.
