Mentor FAQs
How do I qualify as a mentor?
To participate, mentors have to fill in the application form.
Although you do not need to be a UXPA Portugal member at the time you submit your application, as a mentor, you will automatically become a UXPA Portugal Supporter member (free membership). Learn more about membership and its benefits.
How long does the program last?
The mentorship cohort typically lasts two to three months.
For this first edition of the program, we're keeping dates flexible to better understand and adjust to our community needs.
This means you can enroll anytime as long the program is open, and you'll work with your mentee to set a specific period for the mentorship. We do recommend around 3 months of collaborative work.
How often am I expected to meet with my mentee?
You should plan to meet with your mentee at least once every other week for the duration of the program. Some meet more, depending on their schedules.
What happens after the program? Can I continue working with my mentee?
Of course! If you and your mentee are able to, we would hope that you would continue to work together past the duration of the cohort.
Can I apply again in the future?
Yes! You can join the program as many times as you like. We don’t have any restrictions on how many times you can sign up.
Can I work with more than one mentee?
Yes and many mentors do! As long as you have time to work with more than one, we are happy to match you with more than one mentee.
