Frequently Asked Questions
- Who can be an established professional? NEXT is seeking professionals with a variety of expertise, from animation to engineering to journalism, and more, to act as co-mentors to aspiring professionals interested in similar fields.
- What am I expected to do? Co-mentors are expected to meet 9 times between June 1 and September 1, on their own agreed upon schedules. We recommend meeting weekly for 1-hour. Prior to meeting, you should prepare by watching a 5-15 minute training video, and take time to reflect on our discussion questions. Use the curated agendas to guide your discussions each week.
- How long will the commitment be? We ask our mentors to make commitments of at least three months. At the end of your guided sessions, you can discuss extending the relationship, at a less frequent cadence.
- Are there any potential risks to me or my company? No. It is not appropriate for co-mentors to engage in any business transactions; instead, the relationship should only involve the flow of general information and advice.
