Careers adviser mentoring program

The careers adviser mentoring program supports experienced school-based careers advisers who wish to develop their skills in mentoring and are willing to work with a mentee throughout the duration of the program. It offers a mix of live and on-demand learning as well as intersessional activities, supported by experienced leaders from the Career and Workplace Learning team and NSW School Leadership Institute (SLI). The SLI has established a new, high-quality mentoring program which will build the leadership skills of mentors and the capabilities of mentees. The Lead and Aspire Mentoring Program (LAMP) will be piloted in Semester 2, 2024, before being offered more widely for teachers and leaders in NSW public schools.

Preference will be given to careers advisers with more than three years’ experience in this role. Program participants will participate in professional learning and facilitated networking, whilst mentoring new careers advisers.
