Cross-Industry Connections for Growth
At BQF, we believe in the power of shared experience and that learning doesn’t just happen in classrooms or workshops. That’s why we offer an informal, cross-industry mentoring programme designed to support both personal development and professional growth.
Whether you're seeking guidance or looking to give back by sharing your expertise, our mentoring network provides a unique opportunity to connect with professionals outside your own organisation or industry.
Who Can Take Part?
Our mentoring programme is open to:
-
BQF Platinum or Gold members
-
Individual BQF members
No matter your level of experience, mentoring is a great way to build confidence, develop new perspectives, and expand your network.
How It Works
Taking part is simple. If you're interested in being a mentor, mentee, or both:
-
Complete our mentoring form – you’ll be asked to tell us a little about your role, your goals, and what you’d like to gain.
-
We’ll match you up – the BQF team will review your submission and connect you with someone who aligns with your needs.
-
Start your mentoring journey – once connected, the relationship is led by you. We’ll provide some light touch guidance to help you get started, but the pace and focus are yours to shape.
Why Get Involved?
Whether you're mentoring or being mentored, there’s a lot to gain:
-
For mentees: Fresh perspectives, tailored support, and a safe space to explore ideas or challenges.
-
For mentors: The chance to develop your coaching and leadership skills while giving something back.
-
For both: Broader networks, cross-industry insight, and lasting professional relationships.
Interested?
Let’s make the most of the BQF community together.
If you're ready to grow, learn, and connect in a new way, we’d love to hear from you. Mentoring Form link.
