Why Become a Mentee?

Are you in control of your life? Is your career progressing according to a plan? Do you know where you are heading and the steps needed to achieve your goals?

Mentoring allows you to focus on how you can forward your career and overcome work related issues. A mentor can provide guidance, support and space for you to think.

These are some reasons for needing a mentor:

  • career planning and progression
  • links to reduce isolation in a male-dominated professional environment
  • information about returning after a career break and advice about obtaining a work/life balance
  • networking
  • support if you are coping with health problems or disabilities alongside a professional career
  • development of new skills such as leadership or public speaking
Mentoring partnerships usually last two to three years, but you may be looking for a quick boost, help with learning a specific skill.
