How does the Mentorship Program work?

LEGASEA Mentorship uses smart matching tools to quickly and accurately match mentors and mentees based on certain criteria, including experience, skills, interests, location and desired outcomes. You also have the ability to build out peer and team- mentoring groups. Once you have created your prole, you will be presented with potential matches. Once matches have been accepted by both interested parties, milestones prompt and in-app task and scheduling to ensure you can focus on your mentor, mentee relationship and not get bogged down with admin.

How much time do I need to be a Mentor?

It is widely recognised that a good mentor, mentee relationship will include meeting anywhere from once a week to once a month depending on the relationship and the goals. It is of course going to be a personal choice for both parties and is expected to vary based on each individuals available time. It would be expected to be able to connect through messaging on the App or platform and/or by email in-between meetings should the need or want to arise. It is widely recognised that for a meaningful mentoring connection to be established and nurtured, individuals would be expected to engage in mentoring for at least 6 months.

I feel drawn to mentoring but how will I know what to do once I get connected with a Mentee?

Great question and you're not alone! One of the great features of the platform is the support, prompts, templates and training available for Mentors & Mentees. Throughout the program, you will be guided with global mentoring best practices so you can focus more on connecting and less on admin and ' doing it right. Even better is the in-app scheduling, goal tracking, document sharing and more, so you can keep all your mentoring appointments and content in one space!

What happens if I want to end one of my matches?

You can discontinue one of your matches at any time! You may feel like it's not right for you or your mentee relationship may have run its course. Either way, you are free to end the match and engage with others at any time during the program.

Can I sell my products or service to the Mentees?

No, we have a strict non-solicitation policy on the platform. LEGASEA Mentorship is not the place for selling your services/products and falls outside of the Mentor and Mentee relationship. We may at times provide exclusive offers to our members, that have been approved by us. If you're interested in offering your services/products to our members please get in contact to discuss.

What kind of mentees will I be connecting with?

Mentees are from all sectors, levels of experience and backgrounds. All Mentees are vetted so you can rest ashore that your valuable time is invested in a passionate, career focus individual that otherwise may not have had the opportunity.

Will it cost me anything to be a Mentor?

No, mentors are already volunteering their valuable time and experience, as such, no financial contribution is required.

Can I be Mentored?
