The Mini-Mentorship Programme is an informal mentorship programme, aiming to connect current and recent students (Mentees) with Magdalen alumni (Mentors) working in a field or industry they would like to explore.
Programme Steps:
- Matching. A Mentee completes a registration form stating which industry or roles they are looking to explore. We pair them with an alumni Mentor from our Mentor pool who we think would be a good match. We aim to pair all Mentees with a carefully selected Mentor.
- Getting Started. Once a pair is found, we introduce them via email. This includes some basic information about each other, as well as a request of confirmation that they both wish to proceed. The onus is on the Mentee to organise the first meeting.
- First Meeting. We recommend meeting first over video call (Zoom, Teams) to get to know each other and see if the relationship is a good fit. There is no obligation to meet again if it is not.
- Second Meeting. If both parties are happy to continue, they should let each other know and schedule a second meeting. This could be in-person, if practical. We recommend you have at least two meetings – but participants are welcome to keep the mentorship going as long as they both want to.
- Feedback – Let us know how it went, and submit a feedback form.
