The Network's mentoring scheme.
Mentoring is typically understood as “a process that supports personal and professional development and a relationship in which objectivity, credibility, honesty, trustworthiness and confidentiality are all critical” (Hawkes 2010: 4).
Do you need mentoring help? Or can you volunteer to be a mentor? Take advantage of being part of the Network to find others to work with in an informal way. There's a minimum commitment of one mentoring session but the relationship can be extended if both parties agree.
Advantages to mentees:
- Gain new perspectives
- Develop new skills
- Grow in confidence
Advantages to mentors:
- Reassess your own work and outlook
- Support the development of others
- Build your network
If you'd like to become a mentor or mentee, contact our Network Coordinator Sally Hawkes by email s.a.hawkes@exeter.ac.uk
