After many months of hard work from our Workstream 3 colleagues at the universities of Bradford and Sheffield, we are delighted that our first training session for prospective and current YCEDE mentors took place yesterday in Leeds.
A core pillar of WS3’s commitment to improve the on-course experience for ethnically minoritised PGRs, the ‘Train the Trainer’ programme is an in-house professional development course for academics and professional services staff at universities who regularly work in mentoring and/or support roles with our PGRs.
This first session was well attended and a huge success, with a second session already planned for next week. We are very much looking forward to expanding this programme during the rest of the year and into 2025, and can’t wait to share further successes from the programme in the months to come!
