Timeline:
We take matching Mentors and Mentees very seriously and aim to find synergies between a Mentor’s areas of strength and a Mentee’s mentoring needs. However, it can take time for us to find you a suitable mentoring partner and, in some cases, it may be months before we can identify an appropriate pairing.
The Europlanet Mentorship Platform started with a pilot programme of Mentor-Mentee pairs working together from September to December 2020. We asked for feedback from these first mentoring partnerships to ensure that the programme was working as effectively as possible.
