What is Just-In-Time Mentoring?
Mentoring@LBNL is excited to announce the inaugural "Just in Time, In Person" event: a half-day of conversation, connection, and just-in-time mentoring.
The event is designed to help you get the advice you need for your career, whether you're just finding your footing at the lab, navigating a transition, stepping into leadership, or thinking about what's next, there's a conversation for you.
The event features an opening panel discussion, which will be available to the entire Lab, both in person and via Zoom, followed by in-person networking and small-group mentoring sessions for on-site attendees. This is the first time we're bringing our popular Just in Time mentoring format from the virtual space into the Lab, creating new opportunities for meaningful connection and conversation. Registration is required to attend in person. Remote attendees can join the livestream via the Lab Calendar.

What to Expect
What to Expect
The event will open with a panel discussion in the Building 50 Auditorium, featuring mentors and mentees from across the Lab in conversation about what mentoring has meant in their own careers and the role mentoring plays in Berkeley Lab's future. The panel discussion will be available both in person and via Zoom, allowing employees across the Lab to participate regardless of location. This is an opportunity for the Lab community to come together and reaffirm that investing in one another is one of the most important things we do.
Following the panel, in-person attendees may participate in themed "speed mentoring" breakout sessions held in conference rooms located around B50. Participants will choose the sessions that best align with their interests and career goals. Each breakout will bring together a small group of attendees with mentors who have relevant experience and are ready for meaningful, candid conversations.
We'll close the event with an optional informal gathering at the food trucks outside Building 91—a chance for in-person attendees to continue the conversations, connect with colleagues, and enjoy lunch together.

This event is designed for Berkeley Lab employees at all career stages and across all job functions—including scientists, engineers, postdocs, operations staff, and leaders. While everyone is welcome to participate in the opening panel, priority for the in-person mentoring sessions will be given to Berkeley Lab employees should registration exceed capacity. The Mentoring@LBNL organizing committee includes representatives from all of the Lab's Areas, working across roles, career levels, and disciplines.
