The Value of Mentorship — and How to Find One

Mentorship is a powerful tool to guide your next move and gain clarity on your career path. A great mentor won't fix problems for you, but they will help you see options and discuss solutions. 

Start by

• Reaching out to disability networks or alumni offices. 
• Looking for professionals in your field who share lived experience. 
• Asking for short, focused chats; not long commitments at first. 

A good mentor doesn’t fix problems for you; they help you see options and discuss solutions. 

Ready for dedicated, structured guidance?

The Open Doors Initiative's Mentorship Programme is designed to match you with a professional mentor for one-to-one sessions.
