Mentoring Celebration - 24 June 2025
Mentors are invited to join the first "Mentoring Celebration"- all mentors are invited to come and join colleagues to celebrate all things mentoring!
Mentoring is available to staff only.
Imperial's mentoring scheme is available to staff working in job families and Faculties across Imperial.
Mentoring is a widely used development tool that has positively impacted effectiveness, confidence, and career advancement.
At the heart of mentoring is a relationship based on trust and mutual regard where one colleague uses their expertise and knowledge to support the development of another colleague.
Most mentoring occurs between senior and junior colleagues, although peer mentoring, where there are little or no differences in seniority, is also possible.
Through one-to-one confidential conversations, the mentee is encouraged and challenged to achieve their potential and aspirations. It can be helpful at all stages of a career.
