Early Career Researcher Mentorship Programme

The aim of this programme is to recognise, develop and nurture career progression for early career researchers in mySupport Study.

Each early career researcher is given the opportunity to be mentored by an experienced researcher in another university who will provide support and direction. Mentees will engage in an active partnership with their mentors to identify achievable career goals and address any challenges to achieving action plans. A record will be kept of the engagement of mentor and mentee over the 6-month programme.

Members are encouraged to reflect on:
• past and present initiatives
• gain insight into new organisations
• build a broader skill base
• explore innovative thinking patterns

Early career researchers who complete the Mentorship programme can obtain a digital badge through the Centre for Digital Education, University College Cork.
