Celebrating The Value of Mentoring
The OCC Mentoring Program is going from strength to strength, and has had a hugely successful 2024. Now in its third year, the program ran from April to September, bookended by two networking events. The 32 Old Collegians taking part came from a range of graduating classes: from 1977 to 2020. It’s never too late to learn something new or too early to share your wisdom!
An incredibly diverse range of professional backgrounds were represented, including creative industries, health, strategic communications, hospitality, accounting and management. Mentees value the professional learning, but also connecting with other MLC alumnae:
“Doing the program is extremely worthwhile and incredibly rewarding. Highly would encourage any MLC alumnae considering it to sign up, you won’t regret it.”
“The MLC OCC Mentoring Program was so incredibly beneficial. It benefited my career progression greatly and it was such a lovely opportunity to connect with the MLC community.”
One of the great things about the mentoring program is that it is equally as valuable for the mentors:
“It’s been a fantastic connecting with my mentee, sharing this part of her career/life journey. It’s been an enriching time for me also over the last few months. Thank you.”
“My mentee and I hit it off from the beginning and we're definitely open, vulnerable and honest from the beginning.”
