Professional development mentoring scheme

Available to all employees of the University of Dundee who wish to be mentored or provide mentorship on universal professional skills or experiences, this fully voluntary offering of development aims to:

• partner experienced professionals with colleagues at an earlier career stage or juncture, providing guidance and structured support for personal, development, wellbeing or performance goals
• encourage inter-departmental networks by pairing mentors and mentees from different areas, which will increase our sense of community and break down working siloes, embracing a One Dundee approach
