Mentoring

Mentoring is a relationship in which knowledge and skills are shared between members in a way in which everyone benefits. Often a more senior person is mentoring a junior person, but mentorship can happen between any two individuals. Mentoring will help Airmen and Guardians discover their strengths by achieving their full potential through a structured, trusting mentoring relationship.

Trinity Robbins, a manufacturing and mechanical engineering technology student at Texas A&M University, speaks to her experience as a Naval Research Enterprise Internship Program (NREIP) intern at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division over the past two summers. NREIP is a 10-week, paid internship program that places undergraduate and graduate students in Department of the Navy laboratories, where they are engaged in naval research and projects. Carderock fosters a fun, one-of-a-kind work atmosphere where brilliant minds can flourish and push the limits of the possible. Carderock also houses some of the nation's most advanced facilities for research, development, testing and evaluation. These resources, spread across its headquarters and seven detachments, give the Navy a clear edge in creating the next generation of surface ships and submarines.
