Myth-busting: Mentoring and sponsorship webinar
21 January 2027, 12pm - 12.45pm
Online
Mentoring alone does not always lead to career progression. So although many organisations invest in mentoring programmes, mentees will sometimes need further support.
This webinar will help you to unlock opportunities, increase visibility and build the relationships that support long-term career growth.
It explores the differences between mentoring and sponsorship, examines how both can support career development at different stages, and supports solutions to common challenges.
Expert insights, real-world examples and interactive discussion will give you a clearer understanding of the unique ways mentoring and sponsorship can influence progression.
Turn insight into action
After exploring the theory, take further action! Join us on 14 May 2027 for Career Connections: Mentoring and Sponsorship event.
You will meet STEM leaders, expand your professional network and start building the relationships that can support long-term career progression.
