We’re exploring a new approach this year & would really value your thoughts. Over past seasons, we’ve noticed that participation can be quite fluid & we receive a high number of requests from new mentees to join throughout the year, which we aren't been able to accommodate. (1/n)

We are looking to hear thoughts from previous mentors/mentees & the wider community on this model & if you think it might be something that could work! We are flexible in our approach & want to ensure we design a program structure that helps! Drop us a DM or a comment below!

An open, rolling format can accommodate more participants over time. A global, ongoing pool of mentors with flexibility of participation can bring a wider range of perspectives and expertise. Mentees could return with new questions as their needs evolve. (5/n)

Potential advantages: Mentees can seek support at the exact point they need it, rather than waiting for fixed programme cycles. Needs-based pairing via specific questions ensures more relevant and impactful conversations. Reduced time commitment from individual mentors (4/n)

We would then match mentees to a mentor for a focused, one-time conversation or task based on their needs. This model would allow mentees to receive timely, targeted support, while also giving mentors more flexibility in choosing when and how they contribute. (3/n)

In light of this, we are considering a more flexible model: Introduce an open form for mentees which asks for specific questions/goals they would like support with (eg approaching labs, feedback on CVs/motivation letters, advice on specific questions, etc) (2/n)
