As part of your mentorship, you will discuss a variety of topics. Specific subjects will be determined based on what your Mentee is looking for, the types of subjects that will likely be covered are:
Both cohorts will have a ‘introduction’ meeting with their Mentor, otherwise known as a ‘chemistry’ meeting.
If you are matched with a TIDE participant you will need to commit to meeting with them once per quarter for an hour from September 2025 to August 2026.
To find out more about how to sign up as a Mentor for TIDE, email us at tide@exeter.ac.uk.
TIDE has a cohort of circa.50 colleagues each year. The colleagues invited onto the programme are a representative pool of our Professional Services.
All colleagues up to and including Grade E are eligible to apply for TIDE. In some circumstances such as secondments, colleagues that have already started TIDE may now be a grade F.
TIDE is a unique programme that ensures all of it’s participants have access to training, resources, opportunities to expand their knowledge and skillsets, as well as a network of similar-minded colleagues across the business.
We endeavour to make TIDE as inclusive as possible and sessions are never planned in the same cadence to ensure that no colleague misses a huge amount of activity. We host sessions both online via Teams and in-person, including activities at each of our campuses throughout the year.
The TIDE community is also a great opportunity to provide notes for each other and work together to catch up on any missed sessions.
All progress is tracked through a personal ‘Completion Log’ which is to be filled in by the individual. This is provided to you with a session on how to use it effectively. If the ‘Completion Log’ is not completed by the individual, you will not be able to finish the programme.
