Mentors needed for Skills for the future bid

Hi Kate,

Not sure that I could volunteer as a full time mentor at the moment (still have a Vicky to look after and a potential designation development fund funded post to curate beetles for a year has got to the second stage), but would be very happy to show the trainees round this museum at any time.

regards

Don :)

Dear Natsca Members

I’m about to submit a bid to HLF that will hopefully result in four or five natural history and geology trainee internships each running for 12 months starting in October 2010, with two trainees one year and three the next. Each of the trainees will need a mentor able to visit them 5 times during the year and to provide phone/ e-mail support – in total 10 days of trainee support, a days pre-start training wih an introduction to mentoring, a day mid cycle to review progress and a final evaluation meeting. So a maximum of 13 days of work over a year of which 7 or 8 would be out of your office base. This is a fantastic professional development opportunity for mentors to pass on natural science skills and knowledge, to get to know another museum setting, to ensure our profession has a future and to develop personally as a mentor, but for which you won’t get paid, however, the bid will cover travel expenses to get to meetings and visit the trainee and the cost of the training.

Trainees are likely to be based in Leeds, the North West region and Hereford and I need a mentor for each trainee (ie 5 individuals) – I’m looking for expressions of interest at this stage. Please could you e-mail me direct [log in to unmask] rather than responding to the JISC mail as everyone will see you reply if you do that.
