IMNIS Engage 2023-2024 Mentoring Program

 

What could a senior industry leader offer you as a mentor?

Flinders University is partnering with the Industry Mentoring Network in STEM (IMNIS) to offer PhD students the opportunity to connect to an influential industry leader with extensive experience and expertise who will be their mentor for the year. Industry mentors are motivated to ‘give back’ to the STEM community and generously volunteer their time to share their knowledge, guidance and advice.

Mentors are a great way of:

  • enhancing your understanding of industry and how to collaborate with industry
  • gaining a new perspective on your research
  • developing your industry network
  • enhancing your communication and leadership skills

which are essential whether you aspire to an academic or industry-based role.

To get the most out of the program you will be encouraged to connect with your mentor each month over the 12-month program. You will also be supported through thought-provoking leadership and careers focused events.

Applications are now open!
