3. A Faculty benefit and goal Through the Faculty, we can support each other Solid evidence of positive impact from programmes around the university: “I would recommend it because it is a way of giving something back, but it also helps with your own development." “Mentoring makes the process of career progression more explicit, tangible and achievable.” “I didn’t know what to expect going into the mentoring scheme, but I found it extremely helpful and insightful.” 05/11/2015© The University of Sheffield Faculty Of Medicine Dentistry & Health

4. Benefits continued: “It´s very helpful to meet the other mentees and speak to my mentor about problems, to know that we are not alone and have support.“ "My mentor´s knowledge and experience of going through the promotions process was invaluable.” 62 Faculty post-docs/research associates/research fellows have experienced mentoring 100% rated the programme as good/excellent 100% would recommend the programme 05/11/2015© The University of Sheffield Faculty Of Medicine Dentistry & Health
