    Identify a couple mentors at work. At least one respected engineer , with skills and attitude you would like to emulate. Another respected engineer who is the leader or manager one to three levels higher who can mentor you on vision and help you with company sponsored training, bubble assignments, paid schooling, professional associations and networking.

    Agreed.

    I started a tech aide program where we would bring in promising college students.

    The program enabled me to mentor them into full time positions.
