Mentoring is help by one person to another in making significant transitions in knowledge, work or thinking

• Academic, Research (including post-docs), Teaching and Scholarship staff
• Support staff
• Postgraduate research students
• Departmental guidance for new lecturers (Grade 7 undertaking teaching & research)
