The RTPI has launched its pilot mentoring programme, NURTURE, for a second year.
The programme, designed to support the professional development of chartered RTPI members, is a part of the RTPI’s Corporate Strategy 2020-2030. It is designed to provide structured, professional mentoring for RTPI’s members at a ‘mid-career’ point and enable them to make their next career step.
86% of mentees who responded to the RTPI survey in the programme’s first year left feeling prepared for broader professional responsibilities following the end of the programme, while 82% of mentors stated they felt they benefitted from being a mentor.

”It was a pleasure to support the RTPI with the creation and delivery of the successful NURTURE pilot mentoring programme", says Sonya Byers, Women in Transport CEO. "Applying everything we have learned through our Advance programme to support another fantastic membership organisation. Angela and I are thrilled to be supporting the RTPI with a second programme and very much looking forward to meeting our new cohort of mentees and mentors.”
