Testimonials from the first cycle
Testimonials from the first cycle
"Now I feel like I am in a place where I'm much happier about the idea that I will soon be having to progress a career stage. I feel like I understand the options more and I’m less stressed about it.”
"Helpful and informative in terms of getting input in a lot of professional areas that I don’t think I have had input in before from supervisors or other people I work with.”
“I've seen the progress: my mentee has changed... she is now so much more comfortable being herself at work, and she has said to me about how being herself at work meant that she can now do much better work.”
“It’s helped in my confidence with my relationships with my supervisors: bringing up specific issues and challenges to them and actually asking them for things that would further my professional career.”
“I think the most impactful was just for the mentee to have somebody who was like them, so they could feel like, ‘Oh, there is somebody further ahead in my career that is like me [and] they've been through some of the same things’.”
