FAQ
Who can apply?
Anyone who is a member of the P&G Alumni Network is invited to apply as a mentor or mentee.
Do I need to know exactly what I want from mentorship?
No. You do not need your whole career figured out. You and your mentor will shape one clear development goal together at your First Coffee Connect.
How is this different from coaching?
Coaching is a professional service. Mentorship here is peer to peer: one alum sharing real-world experience and honest perspective with another. No one is selling anything.
How much time will it take?
One hour per month over a three-month period. Virtual sessions are scheduled by each pair at times that work for both of you.
How are mentors and mentees matched?
Our team pairs mentors and mentees based on goals, experience, and function.
Is it virtual or in person?
Virtual.
Does it cost anything?
The mentorship program is free for P&G Alumni Network members.
Do I have to post on social media?
We ask for two posts: one when you join and one when you finish. Templates are provided. Everything else is optional.
Are conversations confidential?
Yes. What is said between a mentor and mentee stays between them. We ask every participant to treat shared stories, goals, and challenges with discretion. When you post about the programme, share only your own experience, and never your partner’s details without their permission.
What if I miss this cohort?
Cohort 1 is the first of many. Cohort 2 is slated for the first half of 2027. Make sure to follow us on LinkedIn and subscribe to our newsletter for updates.
