Museum professionals in education roles gain the opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues in recurring individualised meetings. We are thrilled to offer One to One Mentoring exclusively to NEMO members thanks to a partnership with the Group for Education in Museums (GEM).
The call for applications is open until 12 February.
5 persons will be selected for the programme cycle running from March/April-July 2024.
Mentees will be supported and empowered by experienced GEM Mentors in 2-3 online one to one mentoring sessions (each lasting 60-90 minutes). The mentors are senior museum professionals from across the United Kingdom that volunteer their time to the GEM programme to support the career development of sector colleagues, typically those who perform learning functions within their organisations.

NEMO issues two calls per year to annually grant ten persons connected to NEMO organisations the chance to benefit from the expertise of the GEM Mentors. Mentees are carefully matched with a suitable mentor based on their needs and priorities for development. Learn about the impressions and benefits experienced by the first 10 participants in the training opportunity.
