Here are a few questions to reflect on and help you determine if now is a good time for you to participate in our mentoring program:
- Are there educational experiences (e.g. degrees, certificates, designations) that align with your career path and are these completed or in-progress?
- Have you participated on departmental and/or cross-departmental committees, special projects to broaden your knowledge and experience?
- Are you ready to drive the agenda for meetings with your mentor, take responsibility for the direction of the partnership, while remaining open to what the mentor sees/offers?
If you answer yes to all three, then you are on the readiness path for a mentoring relationship.
More about Readiness:
The Education, Experience and Exposure model for development recognizes that to go from beginner to expert, there are different ways of learning that all work together. You get the most from each type of learning at different stages of your career development journey.
Mentoring is a type of exposure learning activity, and is typically the last of the three approaches as it requires a reasonable skill level to be effective.
For more detailed information, please enroll in the elearning module, which provides a more in-depth approach to evaluating your readiness and provides full details of the program.

Our group mentoring program allows all employees to have access to a mentor, by working in small groups of approx. six people, where mentees can learn from each other as well as the mentor. Throughout the program, mentees each get dedicated individual time with mentors to discuss things outside of the group and in private. The program is open to all appointed staff, and its purpose is to help guide those who are still considering what they are looking for in their career. It is designed to explore all of the elements of career development from identifying aspirations, to building a network and to holding informational interviews.
