Mentee Registration

Potential Mentees please note:

Your application to the program does not guarantee a mentor pairing
We will do our best to pair mentees with the best possible match, however, we are limited to the expertise of the mentors who apply each year
Please keep an open mind about your pairing. While we may not be able to fulfill all of your requests for a mentor, there is always something new to be learned from industry colleagues
What to expect from the programme:
- You can expect to hear back about your pairing/inclusion in the programme by the end of January 2027
- This is a voluntary program
- This programme is “Mentee-led”
- Some mentors may indicate willingness to work with 2 mentees. Where appropriate, mentors may arrange joint mentoring sessions, allowing you to connect both with a mentor and with another mentee in the program.
