Benefits of mentoring
There are numerous benefits to mentoring, including:
- Helping you to identify and achieve career goals;
- Gaining a broader perspective on career options, opportunities and paths to succeed;
- Boosting confidence and self awareness;
- Making new connections and broadening your networks;
- Gaining support that is tailored to your individual needs;
- Undertaking regular training sessions – from careers mapping through to creating your personal brand and boosting resilience and assertiveness.
How the Rise Mentoring Programme works
Our mentees benefit from a range of support, which is designed to fit around existing work commitments. This includes:
- Being matched with an industry mentor, with at least 12 hours one-to-one contact;
- Monthly mentee meetings and access to industry events to help broaden your networks;
- Regular, bite sized training sessions – from careers mapping through to creating your personal brand and boosting resilience and assertiveness.
- Peer-to-peer support from your fellow mentees, as well as guidance and support from the Rise team.
