BE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONE’S LIFE
This is a great opportunity. One where you could help another person achieve their career goals, simply by passing on your experience and knowledge. And you'll be learning from the next generation as well.
Being a mentor doesn’t require much of your time. About one hour per month. Yet there are many benefits alongside the satisfaction of helping your mentee:
- Enhances your CV
- Develops your own support, leadership and communication skills

- Encourages curious conversations with the next generation
- Provides a safe space to cultivate, or provoke a different way of thinking
