What is expected of a mentee?

• Mentees need to be clear on what they are hoping to gain from being mentored and the key areas of development they are looking for

• We suggest being able to dedicate 1 hour of time per month to your mentor discussions, plus some preparation time

• The mentee should lead the relationship and be clear with the mentor on their areas of support

• Committment and respect - mentors have a wealth of experience to offer so we ask all of our mentees to be respectful of this and ensure they are committed to the process

​

Mentee applications are welcome from anyone over the age of 18 living in the UK and wanting to work in the food industry or already working, whether you are a student or someone with over 20 years experience we would love to have you join our scheme.
