Mentoring is a personal and professional development partnership, which helps to build confidence for participants to take charge of and advance their own careers, in the short, mid and long terms. At a point when many people face barriers to progression in their professional careers, RAMP aims to open access to industry leaders, expertise and support, addressing personal challenges and advancing equity in the industry.

The scheme runs for six months, during which time mentees will receive six hours of mentoring contact with an experienced industry figure. In addition, mentees will benefit from being part of a supportive cohort, experience peer-to-peer feedback, and have access to seminars and networking events designed to boost confidence, enhance skills and provide ongoing support.​ Plus new for 2024, RAMP will also offer leadership training and skills development, facilitated by RAMP’s new Lead, Natasha Maw.

A former radio producer working across BBC and commercial radio, Natasha Maw is Programme Director of Leadership Development at Bayes Business School. She has run several mentoring schemes in media and academia, and feels grateful that throughout her career she has benefitted from wonderful mentors along the way.

Check out our webinar to hear from Natasha and meet some of our previous RAMP participants. There's also much more info on the programme and details on how to apply here.

Please note, you do not need to be a member at the time of applying to the scheme. However, if you are selected, we would expect you to become a member by the time RAMP starts.
