Tele-mentoring on
High-grade steel
Mentoring is
defined as a sustained relationship between a teacher and a
student, often between an adult and a youth who requires
guidance with a specific task or skill set. There are
mentors available for almost every subject under the sun,
either within educational institutions or available
privately. Some subject matters require a very specific
kind of mentor who is an expert in a certain field, and these
mentors may be scarce and may live overseas. In this kind
of situation, a telementoring relationship may the the best
idea. Telementoring is a specific kind of mentoring
involving the use of telecommunications equipment for contact
between the mentor and the student.
Telementoring can be available over the
Internet or over the phone, with the Internet offering
other options with regards to the inclusion of audio and
video in the contact. The changing equipment and
technologies of the Internet mean that telementors need to
stay up to date with all of the latest advances and tech
news. This is one of the reasons why telementoring
conferences have been set up in some areas to help train
the mentors and offer support and guidance. Steel
manufacture is one field of industry that has changed
quite a lot over recent decades and years, and the
production of high-grade steel (Edelstahlrohr) is definitely a very
skilled occupation. A telementoring conference that is
specific to the teaching of steel workers could be a good
idea to make the steel production process more efficient and
effective.
A steel
mentoring conference at a hotel could make sure that all
mentors in the field are up to date with the latest in steel
news and technology before they go out into the industry
environment. Techniques and designs such as how to make
elbow fittings (Rohrbögen) and flanges could be taught
to the mentors. Conferences are a great idea for any
industry as they get all the participants onto the same page
with regards to workplace knowledge and expectations.
Telementoring is one field of education that could
definitely benefit from a conference every now and then as
workers are often alone doing their work without any direct
support.
A
telementoring conference specific to the teaching of steel
production methodology would benefit the steel industry greatly
as all mentors would be teaching in a standardised
fashion. While any direct benefit to steel sales would
not be immediate, I have no doubt that there would be benefits
for the years to come. As steel plants employed workers
who were being mentored effectively with the latest
information, profits and sales figures would be sure to
grow.
