MyVECTOR

MyVECTOR is an enterprise solution that supports the Air Force's goal to provide all Airmen career development and mentoring opportunities. Airmen can be proactive about career development and mentoring relationships through three major capabilities:

 

  • Mentoring – MyVECTOR enables a web-based mentoring network that allows mentees to manage their career development with the input and guidance from a mentor. Mentees will be able to, in real-time, invite participants to serve as mentors, select mentors based on preferences, chat with their mentor online, and complete a mentoring plan.

     

  • Career Planning – MyVECTOR allows the user to view their duty experience through career field specific experience codes. This structure also allows the user to build career plans based on real opportunities and to share these career plans with development teams and mentors. A Bullet-Tracker option allows the user to track specific events and accomplishments throughout the year for Performance Reports.

     

  • Knowledge Sharing –MyVECTOR provides Discussion Forums and links to resources for online books and courses that discuss mentoring benefits, the differences between coaching and mentoring and techniques for managing mentoring relationships.

MENTORING, PLANNING AND SHARING

The Career Path Tool (CPT) has been enhanced and rebranded as MyVECTOR. More than 90,000 registered users and more than 5,000 mentor profiles are searchable in the “Find a Mentor” capability. This tool provides a standardized mentoring platform to enhance mentoring capabilities and opportunities to “Seek a Mentor, Be a Mentor” for Total Force Airmen.

Find a Mentor

Match up with a potential mentor based off of 12 different characteristics. Mentees will weigh the importance of each characteristic to personalize the mentor match. 

 

Mentoring Plan
