Rudderly Mentorship program aims to answer the basic question that hundreds of people face everyday- “How to realise my potential professionally". We do this by helping members identify areas of potential interest, then connect them with successful professionals from the field, who guides them through a structured mentorship program.

There isn't a set curriculum, since each mentee may have a different challenge that they need help with, one may be starting off their career, while others may be pivotting their career after a decade of working. That said, we try to work with both the mentee & mentors to bring productive, outcome driven conversation. Also, upto getting relavant permissions the mentees assessment reports could be shared with the Mentors to assist the conversation. Rough structure to a mentorship session- - Build a non-judgmental rapport with the Mentee - Understand what motivates them & what they want from their careers - Share your journey highlights & struggles - Give them an overview of the career - Solving a real-world assignment - Open doors to opportunities - Resume & Interview prep

While selecting mentors, we look at the professional experiences, challenges overcome and success acheieved as a baseline to accept Mentors. Typically, mentors have a min. of 5 years of experience. We also like to ensure all our mentors are motivated by giving back and helping out the next generation within their given professions.

Yes, mentors can choose to an honorarium for their time. A mentee is charged dynamically from Rs. 1500 upto Rs. 8,000 per hour. Rudderly retains 30% as their commission. That said, many of our mentor are not doing this for the money and can choose to have the remianing 70% transferred to a bank account of their choosing or donate their proceeds to one of Rudderly's NGO partners

One of the reasons we charge the members for mentorship is so that they take the sessions seriously and come prepared. If you would like to not receive payment, we have tied up with three NGOs - Urja Trust (Rehabilitating Homeless women), The Last Wilderness (Environment), The Welfare of Stray Dogs (Animal care) - from which you can choose one to donate your payment to. We will send you a donation certificate as proof of contribution.

Each mentorship session is for a minimum of an hour but typically stretches to 1.5 hours. Normally a successful mentorship would last for a min. of 4-6 sessions, with a gap of 10days between sessions. We understand that our mentors will be very busy and typically we help coordinate on revised timing to make it work with our mentor's busy schedules.
