Why a mentor makes a difference
The IFoA mentoring programme is a dedicated space where actuaries at all career stages, whether newly qualified, mid-career, or experienced, can connect with peers and seasoned professionals to build meaningful, one-to-one mentoring relationships.
Open to all IFoA members, this free platform offers a flexible and personalised way to grow professionally, such as:
- Connect across the profession: Whether you’re navigating your first role or stepping into leadership, mentoring offers tailored insights from someone who’s been there.
- Personalised development: Receive guidance aligned with your goals, whether that’s building confidence in a professional setting, making complex decisions, or learning how to influence and negotiate effectively.
- Peer-to-peer encouragement: Support from someone who has been on the same journey as you and can help you stay on track to meet your goals.
How it works
Set up your profile on the platform. Outline what you’re looking for in a mentor or mentee, and explore potential matches. The platform supports both short-term and ongoing mentoring relationships, with tools to help you manage and track progress.
