We are delighted to be partnering with Journo Resources to provide a new drop-in mentoring scheme, designed to support working journalists looking to take their next steps within the industry.
The Moving Forwards Mentoring Scheme will allow UK-based journalists to book one-to-one calls with experienced mentors who can offer support on job applications, next steps, building confidence, and more. The 45-minute-long sessions will be run by experts from the Journo Resources community, each with more than a decade of journalism experience.
James Brindle, CEO of the Journalists’ Charity, said: “At a time when journalism has never been more important, we’re delighted to be partnering with Journo Resources to help more journalists focus on their career development.”
“In such a challenging and volatile world, the charity is determined to play its part to help journalists and support journalism. This exciting new initiative complements our existing support offer, which helps journalists at all ages and stages with advice, training, and financial assistance.”
The scheme aims to fill a gap in the market for those looking to take the next steps in their careers, as well as ease the rising pressure on existing mentoring schemes, which often attract hundreds of applicants.
