EM Mentoring - Old Mentees

MENTEES

BENEFITS OF A MENTOR PROGRAMME

By definition, a Mentor is "an experienced and trusted adviser". In this case, your Mentor is here to answer your questions, provide insights and share their own experiences of how they progressed through their own career in events management, to help you pave your own path within the industry yourself.

Mentors and mentorship programmes provide advice, help build your communication skills and also create a network within the industry that can hopefully lead to various opportunities.

APPLICATION PROCESS

Over the coming weeks, further details on the next Mentor Programme will be confirmed and the website will be updated confirming new application opening dates, application deadlines, and programme launch dates for early 2022!

Once applications open, the form will be added below for you to complete. Mentees will be accepted and paired with their Mentor based on the details included in the form so it is really important to consider the questions asked and include as much detail as possible.

Only once the deadline for applications ends will all applicants be considered, so you can expect to not hear about your application status until this point. Due to a large number of applicants, unfortunately, not everybody can be accepted onto the programme.

If not accepted, you are still able to join the EM Mentoring Networking Group on LinkedIn. This is the chance to connect with other students/graduates in a similar position and also industry professionals. You can join discussions, keep updated on industry news and also attend a number of events that will be shared with the EM Mentoring Network.
