In 2015 we are thrilled to welcome more than 220 mentoring pairs to the program and our mentoring community which you as a mentee will now be able to access. The Career Mentoring Program supports the transition of current students into the workplace and involves members of several industries in a mutually beneficial partnership with their student mentee. This program connects a more experienced person (mentor) with a student (mentee) to expand the mentee’s career perspectives and industry knowledge. This booklet provides an overview of the roles and responsibilities involved in the program. It is important that both mentors and mentees read the full booklet to understand each other’s point of view. Using the list of objectives provided as examples, the mentee can identify their key objectives that they aim to achieve through mentoring and then discuss with their mentor an approach that suits both parties. These guidelines are intended as a source of ideas or direction; however, it is important to remember the mentoring experience is flexible and constantly evolves throughout the course of your mentoring relationship. Should you require further information, please contact the Faculty of Business & Economics, Career Mentoring team on 03 9035 5874 (Kristin) or 9035 6707 (Hayley) or email [email protected] Approaching the Mentoring Cycle Mentoring style and execution is particular to the personalities and working styles of participants and the dynamics developed in partnerships. Participants are encouraged to come into the program with an open mind and flexible approach to develop mentoring relationships. The next page presents a general overview and key stages of the mentoring lifecycle and may assist as a suggested guide for structuring your meetings. The 2015 Career Mentoring Program officially runs from April – October 2015 and it is important that you commit to the full duration of the program. Student mentees are encouraged in this program to: Take initiative - as the mentee it is their responsibility to initiate first contact with their Mentor. Connect with other mentees – The Career Mentoring Program is not only a great way to gain exposure to professional mentors, it is also a great chance to connect with other mentees who are keen to make the most out of this opportunity. We encourage students to also meet up with other mentee groups and plan objectives together, bounce ideas and debrief on their experiences with each other. Overseas Mentors We have had a number of overseas mentors register for this year’s program and based on the mentee’s preferences, we have successfully been able to match mentees with our international mentors. The tips and advice given in this booklet (and the mentees booklet) are still very applicable and helpful to the overseas mentoring pairs. Interactions for overseas mentors typically utilise mediums such as email, phone or Skype. We have encouraged the mentees with overseas mentors to regularly meet up with other mentees in the program to share and reflect upon their experiences developing a relationship with their mentor. The Career Mentoring team are also available to provide any additional support or advice if needed to foster a successful mentoring relationship. 3 2015 CAREER MENTORING PROGRAM Stages and Overview of the Mentoring Program Stage 1. Getting Started Opening Launch Workshop for students Lunchtime - 17 April Mentor Launch (Email) 17 April Student mentees attend the ‘Getting Started Workshop’ launch and will be provided with their mentor’s contact details. They will then initiate contact with their mentor to arrange the first meeting/conversation, exchange contact details and start discussing expectations and objectives using the Mentoring Agreement as a guide. Mentors will be emailed all program and mentee details. Stage 2. First contact and Planning Meetings 1st meeting Mentee arranges a first meeting /conversation with their mentor. Both the mentee and mentor work on the mentoring agreement (due by 29th May). Establishing agreed objectives, students are encouraged to plan ahead with their mentors and schedule meetings for the year (recommended approx. five over the duration of the program). Stage 3. Career Segments & Objectives 1st and 2nd meetings Review objectives: Prior to the 2nd meeting: review agreed objectives for mentoring, mentee to draft an agenda of discussion topics for the meeting, sending it to the mentor. Stage 4. Networking Function Mid-Year Function 6pm - 8pm, 30 July or 10 August Networking Event: An opportunity to meet other mentors and students participating in the program at the mid-year function. Stage 5. Working through Objectives and Maintaining the Relationship Meetings Maintain your mentoring partnership: aiming to achieve the selected objectives, keep communication channels open and honest and stay committed to the process. Mentees are encouraged to reflect on discussions from each meeting. 4 2015 CAREER MENTORING PROGRAM Stage 6. Review/Reflection and Future Goals Last individual meeting Review the objectives covered: student mentees are encouraged to reflect on their achievements, seek feedback as well as provide feedback to their mentor and acknowledge their contributions. Identify future career goals and action plans for after the mentoring program. Stage 7. Closure/Continuation Program close 26 Oct Conclusion of the 2015 Career Mentoring Program and formal mentoring relationship. Discuss with your mentee whether you wish to continue the mentoring relationship after of the official program close. Mentoring Agreement The Mentoring Agreement tool (attached at the end of this document) will assist in this negotiation process and must be completed and submitted to the Faculty of Business and Economics Career Mentoring Team via e-mail ([email protected]) by the 29th May, 2015. It is expected that the student mentee will assume responsibility for sending the completed Mentoring Agreement back to the Career Mentoring Team. The Agreement needs to be signed by both the mentor and the mentee with the aim of clarifying the expectations of the mentor/mentee relationship upon commencement of the program. Key issues, including confidentiality, general expectations and ground rules, objectives and a contact/meeting schedule, are to be discussed and agreed upon by both parties. As the relationship progresses, these issues may be revisited as required. Examples of Mentoring Objectives This list is far from exhaustive; however these issues have been a common focus of mentoring in the past. Discussion points and activities for individual objectives are outlined below. Some key features are common to more than one objective, so some flexibility and imagination is required. Use this list to start your negotiations and keep in mind that many other potential objectives will emerge as the mentoring develops. Objective 1: How do I find the right career for me? Determining the right career path is a process that involves self-assessment, research, and decision making. It is a continual journey – mentees may not find definite answers, but in open discussion with their mentors they may at least discover the right questions. Suggested discussion starters include: Discussion points: What are your likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses? What are your key skills, values and beliefs? What is most important to you for your future career? What environments suit you best? 5 2015 CAREER MENTORING PROGRAM What issues might influence this, such as balancing life and work? How did you find out what you wanted to do? What are some of the other career options for this degree? What are the trends and developments in these career areas? How does your personal and professional life fit together? What are the most rewarding and most frustrating aspects of your job? Activities: Compile a list of colleagues who may be prepared to meet with the mentee for Informational interviews Job-shadowing with mentor or with colleagues if possible (see Objective 4) Objective 2: Discussing a plan to achieve desired career outcome If mentees have a clear idea of their preferred career direction, mentors are in an ideal position to assist in the process of developing a career plan, to enable the mentee to work towards their goals now, and in the future. This can be an important motivator as mentees progress through their course. Mentors are not expected to be careers professionals and can always refer mentees to the Melbourne Careers Centre where a team of career development professionals will assist them with career goal and skill exploration and clarification. http://careers.unimelb.edu.au Discussion points: What educational strategies can the mentee use to progress their career? i.e. subject selection, research projects etc. What kind of preparation is required to further careers in this area? i.e. job shadowing, work experience, networking etc. What are the current professional and organisational cultures? What are the trends in labour markets, research, or policy which may affect this career? What are employers looking for in graduates in this career? What should mentees be attempting to achieve now to obtain their long-term goals? Activities: Attend industry events e.g. conferences Explore volunteer work, work experience or vacation employment opportunities Compile a list of colleagues who may be prepared to meet with the mentee for informational interviews / discussions Job-shadowing with mentor or with colleagues (see Objective 4) Objective 3: Networking – Practical strategies Networking is a necessary part of any career development, a key aspect of working life which applies equally to both mentees and mentors. Your network consists of all the people you already know and everyone you’ve yet to meet. This interconnected group of people can give the mentee guidance, information, referrals to additional contacts or even introduce your mentee to people with hiring power. Don’t forget that every person your mentee meets could be a potential contact. 6 2015 CAREER MENTORING PROGRAM Discussion points: How to start a networking conversation? How to introduce yourself? How does this differ if you are in a group? Being prepared (relevant questions to ask, and your own background) How to overcome shyness or feeling uncomfortable with strangers? Recommended questions to start with in specific situations How much do I talk about myself? What should I talk about? Finding common ground What happens after that first meeting? Following up on promises and giving feedback Keeping in touch – what is expected and what is appropriate What can I offer in return? Always make time to debrief and discuss the experience. Activities: Practise networking conversations to enable the mentees to feel more comfortable in the networking role Compile a list of contacts to build mentees’ networks Practise and help arrange informational interviews Attend industry events or professional functions Involve mentees in workplace activities that enable them to meet colleagues informally Mentors assist mentees to keep focused on the commitments they have made (e.g. following up with referrals, exploring the careers of a range of professionals). Objective 4: Job shadowing and workplace insights Job-shadowing enables mentees to observe the realities of working life, relate their studies to the workplace, determine their suitability and preparedness for their careers, and be motivated and encouraged to work towards their future. You may choose to offer job-shadowing, or help arrange it at another suitable organisation. The job-shadowing might occur over a few hours, or a whole day. It is important that, prior to job-shadowing, the mentee researches the organisation to maximize the benefits of this opportunity. If job-shadowing is unavailable, workplace insights can be obtained through a combination of observation and discussion, using a selection of the following activities: Suggested activities for a job-shadowing experience: Demonstrate introductions (in a business context) using handshakes and appropriate titles Orientation (including background of the organisation, mission and purpose) Occupational health and safety briefing Workplace tour Provide organisational chart and discuss Introduction to other work colleagues e.g. Human Resources Manager Demonstration of specific workplace skills e.g. presentations, consultations, practical skills Explanation of the broader technical aspects that support this career area e.g. business/financial/knowledge management/IT Discuss ‘office politics’ Attendance at staff meeting or staff seminar 7 2015 CAREER MENTORING PROGRAM Objective 5: Work and work experience – how, what and where? You are not required or expected to offer work experience, but will be in an ideal position to assist mentees through discussion, your inside knowledge, and potentially through your contacts. Always remember you can only offer your point of view, and mentees should complement this with other views to get the full picture. Discussion points: What kind of work or work experience will benefit the mentee’s career plan? What kind of work experience might assist your mentee to develop a career plan? What are the work cultures of different organisations? Which organisations would be suitable for this mentee and/or this career path? What are employers looking for in work experience mentees? In graduates? What do they expect of mentees day to day? Of graduates? What are the current industries or labour-market trends that may impact on finding work or work experience? What are the overseas employment trends? Is there alternative voluntary work that may offer mentees the chance to enhance their skills? Which CV works? What really happens at job interviews? What are the best ways of finding jobs? Personal approaches, cold-calling, CV or letters? How do the relevant organisations recruit? How does the mentee present them appropriately when they approach organisations? Suggested activities: Provide CV for mentor to review and comment on Practise interview skills and/or ask the student to utilise the online tool InterviewStream to practise and enable you to provide feedback Meet with Human Resources Manager at mentor’s workplace Ask around the workplace for alternative experiences of finding work Search the internet together for related information Further resources and career advice are available at the Melbourne Careers Centre. The mentor’s role is not to guarantee success at finding work. Objective 6: How to make my study work for my career In the midst of a student’s degree, it can be hard to plan for the transition into the workplace. You can help your mentee by offering guidance and support with these career related issues. Discussion points: How to link interest (and skills) in subjects to specific career paths How specific subject knowledge might be applied – both practically and theoretically What career options are related to subject areas How subject choice can aid the development of career pathways The kind of projects or research that are valued in specific career areas The skills mentees learn, in addition to knowledge, as they progress through their degree The role of life-long learning and professional development Suggested activities: Mentee invites the mentor to attend a key lecture or seminar 8 2015 CAREER MENTORING PROGRAM Mentor assists with resources or ideas for projects or research Mentee assists mentor in a small project i.e. web development, presentations, research – and then mentee has this on their resume Mentor demonstrates the fundamental skills which mentees can transfer from study to the workplace (e.g. teamwork, communication, problem-solving etc.) Checklist for Mentors Program Requirements • • • • • • Complete Mentoring Agreement in consultation with the mentee (due by 29th May) Negotiate and plan a commitment for ongoing communication Fulfil commitments and provide adequate warning of changes Assist with evaluation and feedback Contact the Career Mentoring Team with any concerns or difficulties Attend meetings and program functions Program Expectations • Mentoring is a mutual, interactive partnership.

If this is not possible, or the participant does not wish to do this, the participant should discuss the complaint with the Employment and Enrichment Services Manager (further details can be provided by the program coordinators). Complaints and grievances will be dealt with according to University of Melbourne procedures. These are outlined at: https://policy.unimelb.edu.au/MPF1066 Ending the Relationship – No Fault Clause Incompatibility is part of life and is no one’s fault! If either the mentor or the mentee or both face difficulties with their mentoring relationship, the first step is to contact the Faculty of Business & Economics Career Mentoring Team as soon as possible. By exploring issues objectively, some problems can be diffused at an early stage. If this is not possible, the Mentoring Agreement contains a ‘No Fault’ clause, which enables either the mentor or the mentee to end the mentoring relationship without any blame attached. Occupational Health and Safety Mentors should be aware of all relevant occupational health and safety issues relating to a mentee visiting their workplace. If a mentee is taken on site at a mentor’s workplace, they may be required to be inducted into the occupational health and safety orientation process of their work environment. Duty of Care and Ethical Requirements Duty of care requires that mentors undertake all reasonable steps to ensure the safety of mentees. Mentors must provide full induction of mentees into safe working procedures during office or site visits. Mentees and mentors must agree to behave in an ethical and responsible manner at all times. Anyone who experiences any uncertainty or discomfort within the mentoring relationship should contact the program coordinator immediately. All participants must sign a Mentoring Agreement form for compliance purposes. Privacy All contact details are kept as confidential by the program coordinator with distribution restricted to dissemination between officially matched mentoring pairs/groups or where prior permission is discussed and granted. Additional information and feedback provided by participants is treated with the utmost discretion. Matching Mentoring pairs are established through a confidential process based on information provided on registration documents. Evaluation Ongoing feedback will be sought throughout the year, with the Faculty of Business & Economics contacting all mentees and mentors. Formal evaluation will be undertaken including a post survey to all mentors and mentees participating. 10 2015 CAREER MENTORING PROGRAM Services and Resources Available for Mentees The Melbourne Careers Centre offers a range of careers services such as career consultations, CV reviews, interview advice, workshops and an online resources and job portal – Careers Online, to all undergraduate and graduate students. Please encourage your mentees to access these services. For more information visit http://careers.unimelb.edu.au Logbook to Assist with Student’s Meetings Mentees are expected to be proactive and behave professionally when participating in the program. Therefore, being prepared for meetings with their mentor is crucial to their success in this program. Mentees can use the online logbook (as well as the notes and reflection pages in their mentee booklets) to summarise topics they discussed with their mentor, identify discussion points which require further clarification and track what actions they have agreed to take (e.g. prior to the next meeting).

Due to the popularity of the program, the student selection process is competitive. Students must progress through a screening process to ensure their suitability for the program. The screening comprises compulsory attendance at an information session to ensure students understand their responsibilities, time commitment and scope of objectives prior to their application. Further selection criteria are the overall quality of their online application, their motivational statements and academic performance. When matching mentors and mentees, we look at areas of study, professional experience, and interest areas of both individuals and try to match accordingly. How do you encourage and support mentees in maintaining regular contact? Each mentoring relationship is unique and we encourage both mentee and mentor to openly discuss how they would like to manage their meetings, phone calls and correspondence. Some pairs prefer to set regular meetings in advance (e.g. first Tuesday each month) others allow time to develop a more organic approach to their meetings. The Mentoring Agreement tool will assist in this negotiation process. How do you deal with a student lacking initiative / motivation? Every mentoring relationship involves negotiation, a process of give and take. Both the mentor and mentee may want to revisit their mode of communication and frequency of meetings, so that an agreement can be reached that suits both parties. Should the mentor find that the student’s responsiveness and motivation remains questionable regardless; then the mentor should contact the Faculty of Business & Economics, Career Mentoring Team: [email protected]. Debrief of the Career Mentoring Program After the official conclusion of the mentoring program (25 October 2015) it’s important to reflect on your key learning experiences and what you gained from the Career Mentoring Program. We will be sending you a feedback form and would also love to know what you gained from the experience and how we can improve it for future programs too. Below are some key questions included in the Mentee Guidelines booklet for students to reflect upon with their mentoring experience and we encourage you as the mentor to perhaps help explore these questions with the mentee towards the end of your meetings. How has the Career Mentoring Program expanded my understanding of the world of work and workplace culture? How has this program developed my career/professional skills and shaped your career goals? What skills has this experience helped me develop? 12 2015 CAREER MENTORING PROGRAM Has the experience changed what I had originally had in mind as a career path? What other options have I discovered through meeting with my mentor? How has my participation in the Mid-year Networking Event and gaining an insight in to networking strategies via my Mentor developed my networking skills? Going forward, what will I do to further develop these skills and put them in to practice? What were the biggest lessons and learning experiences I have gained from this program? How am I going to use this valuable knowledge and experience to help develop and guide my career goals?
