TrailblazHER™ MentorHER Programme
Become A Mentee
Alongside sponsorship, mentorship is established as a key factor in the long-term career success of individuals. In particular, research shows that mentees, particularly women, are more likely to reach positions of seniority more rapidly and with greater rates of success and have a greater level of satisfaction with their career trajectories than those without a mentor. Mentors can help guide you up the career ladder, to build professional networks and overcome challenges to help you succeed. And the benefits of mentorship are not exclusive to mentees. Don't forget, you have the opportunity to reverse mentor, lending your expertise and knowledge to others. Mentoring is all about mutual success, opening doors and building pathways.
What does the programme offer mentees?
- Personalised matching with a mentor of your choice.
- One-to-one meeting with a professional mentor at least four times over the course of your academic year.
- Tailored training to ensure a successful partnership.
- Personalised support at every stage of the programme.
- Peer mentoring, support and professional network development.
- Certificate and digital badge upon completion.
Who can take part?
The MentorHER programme is open to all female identifying students in their final year of study at TU Dublin.
