Mentoring
FLEET provides mentoring to personnel across all cohorts (HDR, ECR, mid-career) with regard to induction, career advancement and planning, equity and diversity, professional development, entrepreneurship, and research leadership skills.
Two mentoring models are provided: (1) individual, goal-oriented mentoring, where members are individually matched to a mentor within FLEET (examples of goals include applications for promotion, grantsmanship, career advice); (2) group mentoring at FLEET annual Workshops on topics such as manuscript preparation for high-impact journals, scientific presentation, and research leadership.
Launched in November 2017, FLEET members can access a number of mentoring programs, including:
