As I mentioned on Twitter, I've been thinking about mentorship in the UX community. I've just come back from the UX Australia conference with new knowledge but confusion as to how to combine it with my nascent UX skills. And while I received great informal advice, I sometimes wasn't sure if I was asking too much and thought that perhaps a formal mentoring scheme such as the IxDA one could help. I suppose it's a matter of matching needs and abilities, which formalised programs can make transparent, but mentors also deserve more incentive than community goodwill and, in the long run, creating a 'culture of continual learning and mentorship'. It's one to think about and something I'd love to keeping chatting about. Cheers, Cheng Thank you for this post. As I mentioned on Twitter, I’ve been thinking about mentorship in the UX community.
