We are looking for 10 individuals at any stage of their career, to be a part of our mentoring scheme for 2013/14.
Over a 6 month period you will work with a mentor who will help you with your professional development, as well as receiving £500 towards any training and/or professional development activities that will help you with your career development.
You may apply with a mentor in mind or not. If you don’t have a mentor lined up we will work with you to find you a suitable person. If you have a mentor in mind, they don’t have to be based locally, but bear in mind that the scheme can’t cover your travel costs.
To apply you must be:
- based in Leicester, Leicestershire or Rutland
- over 18 years old
- currently working professionally full or part-time in the arts sector (either as an artist/creative or arts administrator/manager)
