Manchester Gold Events

Dates of Manchester Gold events and how to book onto them will be provided to successfully matched Mentors and Mentees.

Launch Event for Mentors and Mentees

These launch events will provide an overview of the programme. We will cover expectations of your role, either as a mentor or a mentee, how to get the most from your mentoring relationship, and the support that is available to you on the programme.

Mentor Skills Workshop

This workshop is to support colleagues who are both new or experienced mentors to develop or refresh their skills. In this session we will explore mentoring in this context, look at different styles of mentoring and the importance of a non-directive approach, starting and ending a mentoring relationship, questioning techniques and implications for virtual mentoring relationships.

Mentee and Mentor Support Sessions

Sessions on career development, personal confidence, and wellbeing amongst others will be offered throughout your relationships. 

Celebration & Close Event

This event is for mentors and mentees to bring the programme to a close, and celebrate achievements from the programme. In this session we will hear real experiences from a mentor and mentee, consider personal growth and development gained, and look forward to opportunities for the next years programme. 

Booking for these dates will be made available when mentoring matched are confirmed. If you have any queries please contact the Manchester Gold team at ManchesterGold@manchester.ac.uk.
