The Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) is now accepting applications for the next cohort of its ongoing Mentorship Program. This program is ideal for professionals at all career levels to develop new relationships, share experiences, and learn from others outside their organisations by connecting with a mentor.
As the first cohort of 2020 comes to an end, the SSP Career Development Committee is seeking potential mentors and mentees to participate in the next wave of this rewarding program. This group of mentorship pairs will be active for six months beginning in late September. The deadline to apply is August 26, 2020.
Selected participants are matched with a mentor or mentee by the Career Development Committee, and expected to meet at least once per month for six months. Mentors and mentees are also required to attend an online orientation and virtual discussion group. There is no cost to apply, but program participants (both mentors and mentees) must be SSP members.
This initiative aims to connect members of SSP for professional development, information exchange, networking, personal growth, and career advancement. The program will hold an informational webinar on August 21 at 12:00 pm EDT. To register, visit bit.ly/mentorship-info-f20.
