In February 2023, Mila will launch the third cohort of its mentorship program. The program will pair approximately 20 Mila researchers (the “mentees”) to the same number of volunteer mentors for a period of 9 months. The goal is to provide Mila researchers with a working environment that encourages them to develop and realize their potential.
Mentees
Mentees are responsible for organizing meetings with their mentor, asking questions/brainstorming goals, and following up on actions agreed with their mentor.
Mentors
Mentors are responsible for drawing on their experience, judgment, and good will to support their mentee’s objectives for personal and professional development.

DURATION AND TIME COMMITMENT
The mentorship program will run for 9 months, from February to November 2023. Mentors and mentees are expected to participate in four 1-hour training/check-in sessions and to meet regularly.

To allow as many researchers as possible to benefit from this program, we will prefer researchers who were not in the first cohort of the program.
All mentors and mentees will be provided with the following:
