Have you heard about the new PhD buddy scheme?<\/p>\n
The Graduate and Researcher College is delighted to announce the launch of its mentoring scheme for postgraduates.<\/p>\n
The scheme aims to:<\/p>\n
Foster peer-peer support by bringing postgraduates together into mentoring pairs
\nHelp postgraduates develop peer groups during COVID, through networking events
\nTrain postgraduates in mentoring skills<\/p>\n
The benefits of the scheme are:<\/p>\n
Learning new skills
\nWorking towards achieving goals with peer support
\nDeveloping networks and hopefully friendships
\nFor mentors, sharing experiences to develop others.<\/p>\n
The scheme is designed to help support the personal development of both mentors and mentees. Applications for the scheme can be made here, until January 29!.<\/p>\n
In January, participants will receive an email to inform them about their buddy (we will endeavour to achieve as many matches as we can). They will attend a briefing session and start meeting with their buddy. They will also have the opportunity to attend training in mentoring skills and networking events throughout the scheme, which finishes in June.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t miss out of this opportunity which will add to your networking skills and look great on your CV!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
