InFrame – Mentoring Programme Orientation Event (Online)
InFrame Mentoring Programme
The InFrame Mentoring Programme is designed to support new and emerging leaders funded through the Culture Catalyst Fund (CCF). It fosters collegial leadership by connecting CCF team members with experienced mentors, change makers, and professional allies who offer guidance, support, and reflective learning.
Why Mentoring Matters
Research shows that mentoring enhances job satisfaction, career success, and research impact. It also strengthens collaborative leadership and psychological safety within teams. The InFrame programme recognises the value of mentoring and provides both recognition and development opportunities for mentors.
