General details about the Mentoring program, resources, and Informal Mentoring alternatives, can be found on the Mentoring page.

Formal Mentoring is designed to provide personal individualized attention between the Mentor(s) and Mentee(s). It provides an accelerated pathway for editors to advance their skills, ranks roles, and/or community involvement.

Formal Mentoring is conducted by a Waze-approved group of Mentors.

Details

A controlled personalized interaction geared to educate a mentee on particular Waze editing skills.
Must come to a formal agreement to start the mentorship, after careful selection of partners.
Only Waze can approve formal mentors.
Provided education is more predictable and controlled with high certainty for a positive outcome.
Goal oriented: intended to improve a particular mentee skill, not a particular feature on the map.
Repeated interaction, in a defined range of time on a specific range of topics, to improve a particular skill.
Helps ensure quality map edits over time as editors advance in rank.
Expectation is to upgrade the mentee skills, allowing the mentee to rise in rank or at least close the gap toward a rise in rank. At mentor discretion, mentee may receive a (temporary) rank change to facilitate the mentorship.

Some additional information and discussion are held in the Formal Mentoring Forum

-Mentoring is the process where a more experienced person (the ''mentor'') imparts knowledge and skill to one who is less experienced (the protege, or, as sometimes used in Waze Formal Mentoring programs, the ''mentee'').

-Waze mentoring often takes place informally, without structure. this happens any two editors with different experience levels in some aspect of editing get together to help the mentee better understand how to problem solve or how t read a situation. It usually either has no goal beyond the immediate issue at hand, or it may be a repeated interaction without a defined goal that guides all of those interactions. Neither party has any formal responsibility to the other.

-Formal mentoring is a more structured program, where a specific mentor and mentee are brought together, with a responsibility to accomplish a specific goal, such as building a particular skill over time, learning how a portion of the Waze technology works, or increasing the protege's editing rank. It will usually define the methods of interaction, the frequency, and their intensity, and will normally have a target date for compoletion.
