The Women’s Network Mentoring Programme

1. Building Connections Across Ulster University

Our mentorship programme is relaxed and aims to foster collaboration and a positive experience every time. This programme is open to all staff members and will give you the opportunity to step out of the silos and connect with people across different job levels, departments and roles.

2. Empowering Relationships

At the heart of our programme is the idea that mentorship is a two-way street. Both the mentor and mentee benefit from each other, sharing insights and experiencing growth together.

3. One Mentor, One Mentee

We believe in the power of focused mentorship. Each mentor dedicates their expertise to guide and empower a single mentee, ensuring a personalised and impactful experience.

4. Tailored Relationships, Not Onerous Obligations
