Mentoring

Active since 2007

We understand the value of investing in your development, but appreciate that many of you have limited time resources. So, we want to make it straightforward for you all. For over 15 years, we offer a six-month mentoring programme to all members, providing access to some of the most talented professionals within the financial services industry.

With a new intake starting each month, you can become a mentee or a mentor at any point. What are you waiting for?

Become a mentee

Whether your organisation offers a mentoring scheme, or not, our six-month mentoring programme is available to all full members and gives you access to some of the UK's most talented financial services' professionals. Our unique cross sector scheme focused on financial services professionals enables you to access advice beyond your company. The different perspectives you can access can help you step back from the jargon of your own company, as well as help you understand new career opportunities.

Become a mentor

As long as you have at least five years of experience, you can become a mentor. Most of our mentors have much more than this and want the opportunity to help someone much earlier in their career navigate the politics of their workplace and access advice they wish they'd heard at the same stage of their career or life.  We'd be delighted if your experience and expertise would be beneficial .
