The UCOP Mentorship Program is seeking mentees and mentors for its next annual session, offered September 2022 through June 2023 — virtually and in-person. The program’s goal is to create mentor-mentee pairings that provide a supportive structure for employees to cultivate contacts, explore challenges and enhance their effectiveness as they grow personally and professionally. Participating in the program is a great opportunity to share and learn career skills and leadership practices, guide and navigate the UCOP culture and build lasting professional relationships.

Apply to be a mentee

Employees who have been at UCOP for six months or more are eligible to participate as mentees. To express your interest, complete the mentee application by Aug. 31. Please note that priority will be given to those who have not previously participated.

Share your interest in helping others

Experienced leaders or staff members with at least one year of UCOP service are invited to share their professional and career development knowledge. To participate, please submit the short Mentor Interest Form by Aug. 29. Previous mentees are welcome to participate as mentors.

“I had a lot of valuable career guidance and coaching from my mentor. The support from my mentor, mentee cohort and Mentorship Program leader made my journey a great experience. I highly recommend the Mentorship Program to anyone who is interested in personal growth and building connections within the UCOP community.”

“I think I learned as much or more than my mentee!”
