Mentors and mentees are carefully matched based on a vast criteria including their professional backgrounds, expertise, and the career goals as well as other relevant information shared on the application form, and interests of the mentees. The programme aims to create meaningful and beneficial mentor pairings and connections.
The programme typically runs for a 2 month period, and mentees are expected to commit to regular meetings with their mentors, attend scheduled events with an expected 85% attendance on the programme and actively engage in the mentoring relationship. A typical amount of time spent with your mentor is 2 hour per week, however, the time commitment is flexible, but should be discussed and agreed upon by both mentors and mentees.
Mentors provide guidance, advice, and support tailored to the mentee's individual needs and career goals. This may include career development insights, networking opportunities, and skill-building recommendations. This is a hugely beneficial relationship which is nurtured by the commitment of both mentee and mentor.
