No, you are not required to pay any fees for your participation. It is not an expectation for either the mentor or mentee to provide refreshments when meeting.

Please review the timetable for the semester and check your availability, as attending the workshops is compulsory to meet the requirements for completion.

If you have just one unavoidable clash, appointment, or unexpected illness, let us know so we can make sure you don't miss out.

Mentors and mentees will be matched through a confidential process with at least one mentor at the start of Momentum, broadly based on the information provided through the respective party’s application. Every effort is made to ensure mentees and mentors are matched based on mutual indicators to ensure a mutually beneficial and enriching mentorship. However, a degree of flexibility and understanding from each party is required. At times, a re-match may be facilitated, but this is based on numerous factors and is at the discretion of the Momentum team.

Mentoring meetings are designed to provide the space and opportunity for mentor and mentee to debrief and reflect on the content and learnings from the Momentum workshops. Momentum requires five one-hour meetings across the semester, held either in person or virtually.

It is the mentee’s responsibility to drive the mentoring agenda and to be prepared with goals or discussion topics for each meeting. Participants receive a guidebook with numerous career and workshop reflection questions.

No. Momentum is designed to assist students with their soft-skill development.

You should not expect or ask your mentor to provide you with employment.

We encourage all mentees to make the most of the time, valuable advice, and guidance your mentor can provide.

All mentees who successfully complete Momentum will be invited to attend a closing celebration to acknowledge the significant commitment and achievements of the cohort. Students receive a LinkedIn Momentum badge and completion certificate.
