OUR MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
The post-training period comes with a lot of anxiety. Both the trainee and institution want the funds to start “flowing quickly” and any delay is interpreted as failure – regardless of whether the host institution has put in place requirements “that oil” fundraising. We offer a work-based MENTORSHIP PROGRAM and practical guidance to align the training to the trainee’s context.
