FAQ

When does the program start?
All applications need to be made by the 1st of August 2020. We will communicate matches in August 2020 and the program will run from 1st of September 2020 until 31st of March 2021

How much time do I need to invest in this program?
This is a 7 months program. We recommend meeting with your mentee once a month for approx 1 hour and being available if needed in between. It is up to the mentor and mentee to set the rhythm and tempo of the sessions.

Is there any cost for mentors?
No, the Elemed’s mentoring academy is free of charge for mentors.

Is this group or individual mentoring?
Mentors and mentees will meet on an individual basis, to ensure both parties get the most out of the relationship. However you can have more than one mentee.

How do you choose who gets paired with who?
The application process gathers information on your background, skills, availability and interests, to ensure that we are making the best possible match.

I have never been a mentor before… What support do you offer?
We will provide an optional introductory webinar on how to get started and best practises. Elemed has created a range of tools, templates and resources in order to help you along your journey as a mentor. We will be organising virtual meetups where you can connect with other mentors, and a support group for all mentors to discuss and share best practises with each other. We will be checking in with your mentee and sharing feedback directly with you for your own continuous improvement purposes.

I have a clause in my contract saying that I can’t carry out another job, is that an issue?
No. Being a mentor is not a job – it is a learning experience and part of your ongoing personal and professional development. This is a voluntary activity and not a job. We will donate 30% of all proceeds to a charity of your choice.

How do you ensure confidentiality?
All mentors and mentees will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement.
The subject matter of discussions should not cover company secrets, and we recommend not discussing highly sensitive information.
We will also avoid pairing direct competitors – please let us know in the application form if this is something we should know.
