2020 Industry Mentoring Program includes 10 program plans for participants to choose between:
Option 1 – The Industry Mentoring Program
Time commitment: 1-week introduction, 6-week self-lead (but guidance available)
Closing relationship time frames: Ability to close the relationship at any point or continue the mentoring relationship beyond the 6 weeks.
This program will suit those whose discipline/industry is not covered in the other options, OR if you’d like to engage in a mentoring program which is more self-lead and focused on developing employability. In this program, we do provide minimal guidance for 6 weeks, however you are able to extend the dates or close the connection early.
Options 2 – 10: Industry/Discipline specific mentoring program
Time commitment: 1-week introduction, 3-weeks of provided activities, 4-weeks self-lead (but guidance available)
Closing relationship time frames: Ability to close the relationship at any point after the initial four weeks or continue the mentoring relationship beyond the 8 weeks.
We have created 9 discipline/industry specific programs. These programs run over 8 weeks and each have 2 stages.
- Stage 1 – Focuses on understanding employability for the specific industry/discipline. This stage provides specific tasks and activities for you and your mentoring partner to complete over 3 weeks (one simple task per week).
- At the completion of Stage 1 you can continue in the second stage of the program, alternatively you are able to close your connection at this time.
- Stage 2 – Focuses on developing employability which is more of a self-lead program. We do provide a list of topics you may like to discuss; however it is completely up to you and your mentoring partner and what goals you’ve set for the program. This stage guides you for a further 4 weeks, however you can continue your mentorship further or close your connection early.
Mentors are asked that when selecting a discipline/industry specific program that they only select those that they have 2+ years’ experience in that industry.
