ULI Toronto Mentorship Program – Mentee
ULI Toronto Mentorship Program – Mentee
What
The ULI Mentorship Program uses a hybrid model of in-person and virtual participation so we can engage and support the greatest number of participants. In addition to the traditional one-on-one format, this year we are introducing group mentoring where mentees will have an option to be with five (5) to seven (7) of their peers and one mentor.
The Mentorship Program expects mentors and mentees to meet either one-on-one or in their small groups once per month. In addition to these mentorship sessions, the program includes a series of 1-2 hour social events.
How
Applications for new mentors and mentees will be open from April to June 30th and the program runs from September 2023 to July 2024 and requires a monthly meeting between mentees and mentors.
As part of the application, you will be asked to note your preference for type of mentorship which is either one-on-one or group mentoring. The group mentoring is a new format that we are piloting where, as a mentee you will be paired with 4 – 6 other mentees and one mentor to extend and expand the engagement and learning experience.
