RMS Application Coaching and Personal Mentoring Schemes: Apply now!

Applications are *now open* for the RMS Application Coaching and Personal Mentoring Scheme - designed to support career development and the unique roles specific to microscopy, imaging and flow cytometry.

Two different tracks of the scheme are offered - one to tackle soft skill development (personal mentoring) and the other for hard/technical skills (application coaching). Both are aimed at peer-to-peer support - importantly not replacing project supervisory roles nor the invaluable relationships we can foster with commercial partners. It is hoped that both mentees and mentors can benefit from the relationship, finding it rewarding and useful for career development.

Applications for both mentees and mentors are open, with 'pairing' taking place in September and March.

The two different 'tracks' of the scheme are as follows:

• Application coaching: aimed at providing technical advice and instruction on specific instrumentation and software.
• Personal mentoring: targets soft skills and career development through regular discussion with a senior member of the microscopy, imaging and flow cytometry community.
