Throughout your mentorship, you mentor the young person to improve their employability and help them to get a step closer to achieving their career goals.

Your questions answered:

How will I know what to do in a session?Once you have joined the programme, you will have access to the online mentoring platform, which outlines sessions for you to run with your young person. These include guidelines and pre-prepared exercises that you can do together, reducing time needed to plan your sessions.

How do I communicate with my young person?You have a private messaging centre on your online mentoring platform that allows you to receive and send private messages to your mentee.

Can I meet my young person face to face or online?We always try to match you to a young person near to the location of your place of work so you can meet face to face at your offi ce. Meetings usually take place in the offi ce cafe or meeting room space. By inviting the young person to your place of work, you are helping to inspire them whilst also providing an insight into the working environment. However, you can choose to mentor online and by phone if you prefer. You simply need to let us know.

What level should I be to join the programme?We accept mentors from up, down and across businesses. We have matched top new talent from offi cer level through to managers and directors. It’s also suitable for people from a range of different roles; however, it is better suited to offi ce-based roles than manual work.

How much does it cost to join?It costs £1920 plus VAT to join the IME mentoring programme. This covers the matching with a young person in need, as well as your ongoing support, coaching sessions, online learning materials and evaluation.
