Our first virtual Alta mentoring session will take place on Tuesday 9 June, 14.00 BST, offering Alta mentees the opportunity to connect online during the lockdown, share thoughts and concerns about their career progression and offer some peer-to-peer mentoring in an relaxed and informative environment, similar to a virtual coffee morning.
This will be the first online networking session, leading to more specific or specialist discussions going forwards and will be particularly relevant if you have been furloughed, made redundant or are at risk of redundancy due to the current crisis, worried about what the future holds or can provide valuable advice from your own experience of previous downturns.
