Support Women in STEM
Being a mentor enables you to make a big difference in someone's life for a small time commitment (Pairs are expected to meet at least once every 3 months with email contact between meetings)
MentorSET seeks mentors who are:
- Science engineering and particularly IT/computing professionals
- In industry, government, academia or business
- Active, on a career break or retired
Training given - no previous experience of being a mentor required. Although mentors volunteer their time to benefit the mentee, they can also find a rewarding experience for themselves. Most of our mentors return to support another mentee once their mentoring partnerships have completed.
