How do I register and get matched with an alumnus/na?

Apply to the programme here. Once accepted onto the programme, we will send everyone an individualised link to create a profile via our bespoke e-networking platform Trinity Connect (formerly known as Trinity Members Online). Once you are logged in, you will automatically be enrolled in the Mentoring Month 2024 programme (which can be found under “Make a Connection”) and you will also be placed in a networking group for this year’s mentees (found under “Groups”). Whilst you wait to be matched, please ensure to explore the platform and update your profile.

We will then be in contact on 26 February to announce your match, after which you will be able to take up contact with your mentor via the chat function on Trinity Connect. You are responsible for initiating contact – please do so as soon as possible.
We shall keep you updated on the status of your application. Don’t worry if we are not able to match you to a mentor on this occasion, many more Mentoring Months are planned for the future.

We ask that mentors and mentees agree to a minimum of three contact points over the course of the mentoring month (for example, introduction/goal-setting, progress discussion and closing review). These engagements can be a combination of telephone, email, or video (via Trinity Connect, but Zoom/Teams is also acceptable). It is intended that you, the mentee, would be responsible for organising these meetings.
