On becoming a mentor

Today I have registered as a CILIP mentor; I attended the training back in July and yesterday I got around to signing up. My motivation stems from a sense of supporting those within the profession who are seeking to gain accreditation, chartership or fellowship. Throughout my career I have been fortunate to have had the support of colleagues so this opportunity to put something back in feels right. Already I have two candidates who were, up until now, informal but I suppose we can move onto a formal footing now. I’m also interested in the role of mentoring from a less formal point i.e. when there is not neccessarily a final goal at the end. More information about CILIP mentoring scheme can be found here.
