Event Details

Applications for ARMA’s annual mentoring programme have now opened. Are you interested in applying but not sure if it is for you? Come along to our free information session to find out more.

Aimed at aspiring mentors and mentees, this session is open to members and non-members, but you will need to be an ARMA member to apply to the mentoring programme.

Led by Sue Starbuck, chair of ARMA Mentoring Working Group, attendees will learn more about what mentoring is, how the mentoring programme works and the commitment required of those taking part.

About the Programme

ARMA’s Mentoring Programme matches mentors and mentees for a period of 9 months. Those interested in being either a mentor or mentee are invited to complete an online application form, and our Mentoring Working Group will then create matches, based on particular areas of interest, development needs and particular circumstances and learning styles. Please note that geography will not be taken into account during the matching process. The deadline for applications is 9am on Monday 12 August 2024.

Those selected will be invited to take part in our online induction event, where mentors and mentees will be introduced to each other and have the opportunity of discussing their needs and requirements as well as receive hints and tips on how to get the most out of a mentoring relationship. The virtual induction session will take place on Wednesday 9 October 2024 (10am – 12pm). If applying, please hold this date in your diary as all mentor-mentee pairs will be required to attend.

Mentor/mentee pairs will be expected to meet at least 3 times over the course of the scheme, proportionate to the mentoring goals agreed; meetings can take place either virtually or in person as agreed within each pair. The mentoring relationship will run from October 2024 to the end of June 2025.
