Mentorship Rocket
We have been exploring how we might best provide a flexible and scalable mentoring offer to our network, and think we have found the solution. It is an online platform called Mentorship Rocket, specifically designed for trade association mentoring programmes, and we plan to procure it jointly with our friends at the Association of Real Estate Funds, to offer mentees from each of our networks an even broader range of potential mentors. You can read about how the platform works to connect mentors and mentees here. We hope to be up and running in a matter of weeks – initially to recruit mentors, and then to invite mentees to register. Watch this space!
