We are in the mentor matching cycle for the second PreSEED term. So far,
48 out of the 52 are matched (92%) since the cycle started on 5 May. This
term officially starts in June and runs through December 2008. The newly
matched mentors are now having their preliminary meetings with the mentee’s
managers and the mentor-mentee pairs are going through their two hour
training sessions as those are scheduled.
The SEED program is also now accepting applications from Sun Engineering
staff worldwide for its Recent Hire and Established Staff terms which
will start in September 2008. (The next PreSEED term does not start until
January 2009.)
To date, we have 47 SEED applications, 8 of which
are complete. All materials are due by 9 June. SEED has applications
from Sun Engineering staff working in Czech Republic, India, Ireland,
Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, P.R. China, Russia, Saudi Arabia,
Switzerland, Taiwan, the UK, and the USA. They work for Sun Labs, Microelectronics,
Global Sales and Services, Software, Storage, Systems, and Worldwide Operations.
