Outvertising reopens applications for LGBTQ+ mentorship scheme

The Outvertising Mentor Programme has started recruiting mentees and mentors for 2022.

The six month programme gives support to those who are LGBTQ+ at the beginning of their careers.

There will be monthly or fortnightly sessions from industry leaders, both allies and LGBTQ+ advertising professionals, alongside Outvertising-run sessions and check-ins.

Online applications are open until 30 April and the programme will start in May.

Mentors and mentees will be matched based on backgrounds, skills and professional interests.

The annual programme has supported more than 80 people since launching in 2019 with more than 100 mentors taking part.

Outvertising is a volunteer-run not-for-profit organisation that aims to make UK advertising and marketing completely LGBTQ+ inclusive.
