The core of the mentoring program is a one-year-long engagement which is executed in 3 phases. It comprises a four-month-long mentor-led phase, a six-month-long mentee-led phase, and a two-month concluding phase.
During the mentor-led phase, the participants are groomed on five key themes including:
- Career trajectory
- Personal branding
- Personal finance management
- Communication skills, and
- Leadership and management skills
During the mentee-led phase, the participants get a monthly opportunity to discuss their progress and concerns with the mentors for a period of six months.
In the concluding phase, the mentees are introduced to our follow-up community and prepared for the ongoing post-fellowship relationships. They also get their various achieved certificates and awards during the program.
