Though the Programme is 12 months long, mentors will be assigned to a UNV for 3 to 6 months and, after this period, will be assigned to a new UNV (Mentee) until the completion of the 9-month commitment. (The mentor will be required 6 -7 hours a month on average).

The most structured part of the mentorship program will be broken down into 5 areas:
1)Providing support This can range from advice about approaching a professional problem (e.g. how to approach a task at work, or talking about their development), or be of a more sensitive nature.
2) Helping them establish their goals and objectives for the programme, and figure out some steps to get there.
3) Working on goals together: you can share with them any goals you’d like to work on during / across the mentorship period too, and share ideas on how they can help achieve theirs.
4) Helping to build connections and professional relationships: working with them on how to contact and build working relationships / professional contacts is so crucial to a career but can be strange and daunting!
If you think of anyone who would be useful for them to meet, it would be great if you could help make introductions- feel free to reach out to the team to help, too!
