Be ‘Mr. Miyagi’ or find one! A talk about the power of mentoring
summary
Mentoring leads to concrete results: a karate brown belt with ~50 prizes, national titles and a third-in-Europe finish; a legal case won under Dutch equal treatment law; a career switch into software engineering supported by hands‑on on‑the‑job training and weekly context from an overenthusiastic tech lead. Backing data: required experience listings cluster at 3–10 years, 75% of IT decision‑makers report a skills shortage (a 145% rise since 2016) and an estimated $775B 2022 impact. Recommendation: treat apprenticeship seriously and adopt the 10 best practices for choosing, training and protecting mentors.
