If we define training as "knowledge transfer," mentoring can best be defined as "experience transfer." Or in other words:

The Gap
Applying new skills can be more difficult than learning them in the classroom. Often, frustration sets in as engineers have difficulty in using new technology to meet real-life business requirements.

The Bridge
To close the gap between training and application, PTI offers the Peer-to-Peer Mentoring™ program. This program combines customized instruction with practical application in an actual business project. Instruction is followed immediately by the development of a client project. Expert mentors work one-on-one or in small groups with recently trained engineers to provide constructive feedback and to ensure quality development.

Mentoring Just-In-Time
Training, mentoring, and evaluation are scheduled throughout the project as additional knowledge and skills are required. This 'just-in-time' approach ensures that learning is balanced by application.

Mentoring Plans
Priority Technologies provides a Mentoring Plan for each of the major roles in advanced technology projects. We address the needs and responsibilities of each individual with the goal to maximize everyone's learning potential, while using an expert's hands-on approach to help ensure the success of the project as a whole.
