Every student at the academy will have the opportunity to be put in touch with a mentor.
Having a mentor will create a personal bond between the student and a trusted, experienced adult who can provide advice and support. This can help students feel closer to the academy and improve their overall well-being. Mentors will be able to provide valuable information and advice on a range of topics, such as study, careers and personal development, challenges to developing one's company, helping students to set goals and realize their full potential. In addition, offering regular one-to-one meetings with mentors ensures that students have a safe and confidential space to discuss any difficulties, life issues or ideas they may have. This can encourage self-reflection and help students develop the resilience and problem-solving skills that are essential for success in life. Overall, the presence of a mentor will contribute to students' academic, personal, social and professional development and have a positive impact on their lives beyond the academy.
Mentors will agree to be available at least once a month for their mentee. By telephone, video conference or over coffee, depending on availability.
A nice touch would be for each mentor to invite his or her mentee to a networking event once or twice a year, to introduce him or her to new people and new professional environments.
The mentoring program will be constantly evaluated to refine the added value over the years.
