Mentors:
- Read UCL’s Let’s talk about race Toolkit to support mentors in discussions on race and ethnicity that may arise when mentoring people from under-represented groups, whilst giving mentees the confidence that mentors are aware and informed of these issues.
- Establish a mentoring agreement
- Share experience, provide direction and advice to develop career skills and expertise
- Have regular meetings with pre agreed length of time and expectations
Mentees:
- Drive the process, take ownership!
- Have a realistic expectation on what can be achieved
- Respect each other’s time
- Provide feedback, review goals
Time commitment:
It is expected that you are in a mentoring relationship for about a year, but this varies depending on your objectives and when these are achieved.
It is also expected that you meet regularly, be it monthly, bimonthly, quarterly - depending on the objectives. Once the schedule is agreed, mentors and mentees need to commit to it.
Both length of relationship and meeting schedule should be agreed at the start of the relationship, revised periodically and adjusted if needed.
