Mentoring@MSPGH

About

The Mentoring@MSPGH Program, which has been running since 2021, is designed to support both academic and professional staff at all levels, enabling a sharing of our skills and expertise.

The program offers individual matching of mentors and mentees based on the preferences and needs of mentees and the skills of mentors. While this program is an exciting initiative and an important way for staff to contribute as leaders of the School, it is only one way to support our overall expectation of mentoring at the School. We are all involved in supporting these values through our interactions with our colleagues every day.

We have grown the Mentoring@MSPGH program from 30 mentor/mentee pairs in 2022 to around 75 pairs and 2-3 peer-mentoring groups in 2024/25. This incredible growth is a tribute to the quality of the program and the mentors who volunteer their time to it, but also the enthusiasm of the mentees who participate and the value they gain from their participation. The number of mentees who have become mentors attests to how the program has helped us develop a mentoring culture at the School. The program would not be the success it is without the leadership and stewardship of Angela Nicholas, Rob Moodie, and the efforts of Kylie Gilmartin, and our current program co-ordinator, Cate Bailey.

We encourage our staff to consider registering as a mentee or mentor for the program, as it is an important way for all of us to show our leadership and of course as always, never stop learning ourselves. Being a mentor is a great opportunity to share what you know, and support others to achieve tangible benefits in their career.
