The EASA Applied Anthropology Network (AAN) is excited to announce the first rendition of our Mentorship Program!
In 2024, we are launching the very first edition of our mentoring program with the aim to support (aspiring) anthropologists in exploring careers outside of academia. While we encourage applications from various backgrounds, the program focuses on the assets of anthropological thinking, training and frameworks. Both mentors and mentees should have an understanding of anthropology and an interest of how the discipline can benefit industries and non-academic workplaces. This is a fully remote program open globally.
Examples of profiles this program is dedicated to include, but are not limited to:
Anthropology students, who want to explore potential careers
B.A. and M.A graduates who are job searching
Anthropologists currently employed in academia looking for transition to industry, private or public sector (including PhD candidates)
Anthropologists looking to transition from one industry to another
Anthropologists looking for different kind of transition or advice, eg. job market in a different location, employee to consultant transition.
Anthropologists looking for advice within the discipline they are already employed in.
Each mentee will be paired with one mentor. Meet our mentors here: Mentors
One-on-one mentoring sessions will be held between February 1st and April 30th 2024 on a weekly (30-minutes) or biweekly basis (60-minutes).
