Resources for (potential) mentees

We are also running workshops for potential mentees to encourage them to reflect on what they may want from a mentoring relationship (priority given to students and alumni from the last three years). Resources from the workshops are now available online.

The Mentoring & Careers page has lots of useful guidance and help; this guide is especially useful for those using the Alumni Network search for Mentors.

Being a Featured Mentor

Featured Mentors are highlighted on the Careers & Mentoring Page and appear first in a search for mentoring and advice (should they match the search criteria).

To be highlighted as an IDS Featured Mentor you must fulfill all of the following criteria:

• Be opted in to mentoring
• Have one of your identified categories of help as 'Mentor Relationship'
• A photo on your profile
• Logged into the network in the last 6 months
• Attended at least one mentors workshop in the last 18 months
• We review the Featured Mentors list at the beginning of each month.
