The RTPI recognises the value of mentoring and the benefit it can bring to members. It is a powerful way to inspire growth, build confidence and create lasting connections, helping members to reach their full potential. Both mentors and mentees gain personal and professional development.
Earlier this month (February) RTPI launched a mid-career mentoring programme following a successful pilot. The first phase of this programme invites members to register as mentors. Following this we will welcome members to register as mentees. This programme will offer members the opportunity to acquire new skills and reach their full potential. It will foster a reflective experience, allowing both mentors and mentees to exchange knowledge, explore diverse practices and apply these insights to their own professional situations. Further mentoring programmes will be developed for members as the RTPI mentoring offer evolves.
Ready to get started?
Registration for mentors is now open. Registration for mentees opens on 2 April.
The programme will commence in February with the first phase being an invitation to members to registered as mentors. Following this we will welcome members to register as mentees.
Once launched the platform will have features including:
- Introductory videos and guidance to help you make the most of your mentoring experience.
- Help to identify your goals: Consider the areas you’d like to focus on, whether you're seeking support as a mentee or offering guidance as a mentor.
- Creating your profile: When ready, create your mentor or mentee profile. This information will be used to match mentors and mentees based on shared interests and expertise.
- Editing anytime: You can update your profile as often as you like. Tools are available within the system to help mentees refine their goals along the way.
