Peer mentoring relationships that elevate success
The IT Mentoring program connects UW–Madison employees with fellow colleagues in peer relationships that enhance skills, knowledge and experience. We carefully match mentees with experienced mentors to guide them in their career goals, technical interests and personal development objectives.

Mission, values and history
IT Mentoring is more than just a program—it’s a catalyst for transformation. We foster a culture of continuous learning, mutual support and professional development, contributing to the vibrancy of the UW IT community. Our mission is to bridge the gap between experienced IT professionals and those at the beginning or middle of their career paths. We create a purposeful environment where professionals share knowledge, skills and experiences to propel each other’s personal and professional development. We aim to foster connections that lead to improved collaboration across different units in service of the university mission.
IT Mentoring is part of IT Connects, a coalition of volunteer IT professionals from across the university dedicated to breaking down silos by providing resources and opportunities for UW’s IT community to learn and grow together.
