Could you be a Manchester Gold mentor?

07 Apr 2022

We have received very high levels of interest from mentees, but unfortunately we have a current shortfall in applications from mentors

We are seeking mentors from all levels, roles and areas of the University; you do not need to have any prior experience of mentoring. All mentors are able to attend a mentor skills workshop, access regular mentor peer supervision, and be part of an MS teams community for mentors.

Here what some previous mentors said about their experience mentoring on the programme:

“The programme was a chance to help others and learn more about the University beyond my department and faculty.”

"My role was about creating space for my mentee to think and reflect, providing examples of what worked for me in similar situations, celebrating successes and being a confidential ear for nerves/trepidations.”

“My mentee and I got on well from the start. They engaged with the process and just needed pointing in the right direction. I think they have benefited from an outsider's view on what the possibilities are and how to go about getting where you want to go.”
