- Am I eligible to be a mentor?
Mentors: Post-doc (with least two years鈥� experience) to Lecturer level academics, researchers and teachers from any ethnic background
- What does it involve?
Mentoring is based on exchanging experiences, ideas and feedback between the two parties. It helps to promote understanding of formal and informal structures, enhances opportunities for staff to develop and build skills/knowledge, and enables continuing professional development and personal growth.
- Compulsory induction training session in November 2023
- At least six one-to-one mentoring sessions over the 1 year mentoring period
- End of year celebration social event in summer听2024

Mentees can:

PGR Students from Black, Asian, Mixed and minority ethnic backgrounds are underrepresented in Higher Education and attrition rates are high across all non-White Ethnicities.
