Mentoring
Mentoring can shape your career in meaningful and sometimes unexpected ways. It’s a chance to learn directly from someone with experience in your field, whether that’s clinical practice, research, education, or industry. You’ll gain practical skills, real-world insights, and a clearer sense of what success looks like.
It’s also about building connections. Mentors can expand your network, open doors to new opportunities, and help you feel more confident and supported in your professional community.
And beyond skills and contacts, mentoring helps you grow. A good mentor encourages resilience, confidence, and a professional mindset, helping you understand your industry’s values and where you fit within it.
