We've got the answers for your questions
Seriously, if you have any questions about the PRGRSS app, we have the answers.
At our PRGRSS, we pride ourselves on having a diverse and extensive network of mentors. Currently, we have hundreds of mentors from various professional backgrounds including technology, finance, law, creative industries, media, and many more. This diverse pool of mentors ensures that our mentees receive a well-rounded and comprehensive support system to help them thrive in their respective fields
Mentors and mentees engage in 12-minute calls designed to maximise efficiency and effectiveness. During these calls, mentees have the opportunity to discuss their goals, challenges, and aspirations with their mentors. Mentors provide valuable insights, guidance, and advice based on their expertise and experience in their respective fields. These calls serve as a platform for mentees to seek personalised support, gain clarity, and receive actionable steps to progress towards their goals. Additionally, mentors may offer resources, share relevant experiences, and help mentees navigate professional development opportunities. Our structured approach ensures that each call is focused and productive, creating a conducive environment for meaningful mentorship
The matching process at PRGRSS is carefully curated to ensure compatibility and mutual benefit between mentors and mentees. We employ a multi-step approach:
Application and Profile Assessment: Both mentors and mentees complete detailed application forms outlining their background, expertise, interests, and specific areas of focus. This information serves as the foundation for the matching process.
Skillset and Interest Alignment: Our matching algorithm considers the skills, industries, and interests of both mentors and mentees. We aim to pair individuals whose experiences and aspirations align, fostering a productive and meaningful mentorship relationship.
Professional Background and Industry Expertise: We take into account the professional backgrounds and expertise of mentors to ensure they possess the knowledge and insights most relevant to the mentee's goals.
