The Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) will pilot a new Mentorship Program starting in June 2017. The SSP Career Development Committee is seeking up to 12 mentors and up to 12 mentees to participate in this new program and provide feedback.
This new 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. The pilot will run from June through November 2017 and SSP is accepting applications through May 15.
This exciting new initiative aims to connect members of SSP for the purposes of professional development, information exchange, networking, personal growth, and career advancement.
Accepted applicants will be matched with a mentor/mentee by the Career Development Committee. Mentors and mentees are expected to meet at least once per month for five months in-person, via telephone, or by other virtual means. Mentors and mentees are also required to attend an online orientation and virtual discussion group. Program participants must be SSP members and participation fees are waived for the pilot program. Participants are required to complete a series of feedback exercises to help improve and enhance the program for future cohorts.
