Career guidance and mentorship volunteer team at CrowdDoing

The Career Guidance and Mentorship Sub-Team has a crucial role in helping volunteers align their career paths with their Ikigai. Here is a suggested roadmap for this team:

1. Understand Volunteer Aspirations: The first step is to understand the career aspirations of the volunteers. This could be done through one-on-one meetings, surveys, or group discussions. Understand what each volunteer loves, what they are good at, what the world needs, and what they can be paid for to identify their Ikigai.

2. Develop a Mentorship Program: Pair volunteers with mentors who can provide them with guidance, advice, and support. Mentors could be senior volunteers, subject matter experts, or even external professionals. The pairing should ideally align with the volunteer's identified Ikigai.

3. Career Guidance: Based on the understanding of the volunteers' aspirations and their Ikigai, provide personalized career guidance. This could include advising on potential career paths, identifying suitable roles within CrowdDoing or outside, and providing resources to help them achieve their goals.

4. Organize Learning and Networking Events: Host workshops, seminars, or webinars on various career-related topics. This could also include networking events where volunteers can connect with professionals in their desired field.

5. Collaborate with the Learning and Development Sub-Team: Work closely with the Learning and Development Sub-Team to identify any skill gaps the volunteers may have and organize trainings or workshops to help fill these gaps.

6. Follow-up and Support: Regularly follow up with the volunteers to understand their progress, address their concerns, and provide continuous support. This could be in the form of regular check-ins, feedback sessions, or providing additional resources as needed.

7. Track and Measure Success: Have a system in place to track and measure the success of the career guidance and mentorship program. This could be based on volunteer satisfaction, the achievement of personal career goals, or retention rates within CrowdDoing.

8. Continuously Improve: Use the data collected to continuously improve the mentorship and career guidance provided. This could involve updating the mentorship program, bringing in different resources, or changing the approach to career guidance.

By following this roadmap, the Career Guidance and Mentorship Sub-Team can effectively support volunteers in aligning their career paths with their Ikigai, thus increasing satisfaction and retention within CrowdDoing.
