What is mentoring?
Our approach is simple: we carefully pair up young creatives with a mentor who works in their chosen sector.
What do you do?
The role of the mentor is to be a critical friend to their mentee - acting as both a support and sounding board. A mentor offers tools and advice to their mentee to progress professionally, empowering them to make connections and to progress off their own merits.
They support, champion, encourage, and constructively challenge their mentee whilst creating opportunities for them into jobs and onto career progression in a fast-changing, competitive, and highly networked workplace.
The pairings are encouraged to have contact outside of the facilitated monthly sessions in order to witness the meaningful impact of the relationship.
Who can mentor?
Anyone working in any capacity in the creative, cultural, or digital sectors – preferably with some lived working experience in London.
You and your mentee will mutually agree your frequency of meetings outside of our 2-hour facilitated bi-monthly in-person sessions.
Mentor training and onboarding
At the start of every mentoring programme, we provide training and a handbook for our mentors containing best practices and other useful tips.
