Hi,

I've often wondered the very same thing. I have heard that my local CIPD branch is in the process of setting one up, so I am going to contact them and see if that is the process.

I have had help from experienced HR people at work, and I've found that's a really good approach if you can arrange for someone at your work place to help.

I had an email a while ago from the CIPD about mentoring, and sent a form off and I'm just waiting to hear. I can't remember what page it was on, so maybe there are other people in the community that know?

In reply to Stephanie :

Many local CIPD branches have mentoring schemes in place, information can be found here: www.cipd.co.uk/local. Attending local branch events, if your branch doesn't have an active mentoring scheme,can also be handy as you build your network and may find a mentor that way.

Ive recently been assigned a mentor in my current workplace. Ive really enjoyed the process. Catching up can be weekly or monthly.
