This a professional mentor-ship training workshop for all doctoral researchers who are interested in being a mentor or developing transferrable mentoring and coaching skills.

The workshop covers some mentoring theory, introducing you to a range of models and techniques as examples of best practice. The session also includes practical elements to help you reflect on, practice and develop your own mentoring techniques. You will learn how to encourage others to see opportunities and take up new challenges, build confidence, and help people to feel motivated and empowered to achieve their goals.

After attending this workshop, you will also receive a certificate or digital badge recognising you as an RDP trained mentor, which you can use for your careers and professional development profile.

Attendance at this workshop is essential if you have signed up to volunteer as a mentor for our peer mentoring ‘Transitions’ programme, ECR mentoring or STAR mentoring schemes.
