Cross Organisational Mentoring Circles 15th Cohort launch

This is an online event taking place on MS Teams.

Audience

Only for participants in the 15th Cohort of Business in the Community (BITC)’s Cross-Organisational Mentoring Circles, including organisation D&I contacts, mentors and mentees.

Background

BITC’s Cross-Organisational Mentoring Circles (COMC) is a six-month mentoring programme supporting Black, Asian, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse employees across public, private and non-profit organisations. It brings mentees together in small cross-organisational circles to share experiences, build confidence and develop their careers.

Each circle includes up to ten mentees and is led by a senior mentor from a participating organisation. Mentors facilitate monthly sessions, help shape the agenda with the group, and share insight from their own experience. Participants also benefit from BITC’s wider network of guest mentors, who deliver practical masterclasses on topics such as networking, personal branding and public speaking.

The programme runs monthly over six months, with an opening and closing ceremony, and a masterclass series that is consistently well received by mentees and shaped by their interests and priorities.

About the event

The event runs for 2 hours 30 minutes. The first hour is a webinar introducing the programme, with alumni sharing their experiences and tips on how to get the most from the programme to support career progression. The second session is for mentors and mentees who are circle members, who will meet their mentoring circle for their first session.
