Created for candidates from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds looking for a career in the Arts, the aim is to give insight, advice, direction and inspiration along with practical transferable skills and a support system for our candidates. Community is at the heart of everything we do and so we created MM Alumni, our long-term commitment to provide help to our candidates for as long as we can. The purpose is to encourage global meet ups, valuable discussion and peer advice and collaboration to create a network that will grow together as they move forwards towards their goals. MM is a growing community that currently has 233 MM Alumni across 19 countries with the majority of our candidates in the UK. We work in a variety of ways with our Alumni including:- One on one mentoring for a period of 6 months with industry leaders.- Workshops to help develop skills and create an open forum for questions, - Benefits including access to industry events such as fashion shows, panel talks and art openings- Providing advice and support. - Job Opportunites. Working with businesses and individuals MM has, to date, provided 25% of candidates with paid opportunities within their chosen fields.- Leading talks to create a safe and supportive space for dialogue between candidates- creating a network with industry leaders and peers that encourage opportunities, inspiration and collaboration and a soundboard with Mentors and peersWe are cross generational multi disciplinary community for growth and the feedback has been resoundingly positive with our candidates finding the process valuable, uplifting and at times integral to getting their start in the creative industries.Mentoring Matters has been nominated for 3 British fashion council awards for our commitment to change.
Our stakeholders consist of our Mentees (alumni) the Mentors (industry leaders) Sponsors, Businesses and Individuals that work with us to find paid opportunities for our mentees and our advisory panel. We are in close contact with all of our stakeholders to try and ensure the smooth running of the businesses. We send out feedback forms to our mentees to gain an understanding of experiences and improvements that could be made as we work to constantly evolve our processes to give our Mentees the maximum support. We ask for updates from Mentors to understand how they have found the experience and any challenges that they have faced and also pick up any tips for future Mentors to give them extra tools. We work closely with our sponsors to ensure that they understand our goals and give as much transparency as possible and together we plan as many ways to broaden the experience for our Mentees as possible. We hold face to face discussions with anyone who wishes to have involvement in the scheme so that we can try and ensure everyone is well matched and shares our same intentions to uplift and diversify our industry, we have contracts with businesses who wish to work with our candidates that outline best working practices and ensure a non prejudicial and supportive environment. If at any point we receive feedback around anything that needs to be addressed we take it up immediately with whoever is concerned and resolve as quickly as possible. Our advisory panel consists of individuals well placed within the industry to give advice and perspective on all important decisions. We are in regular contact.
