Applications

The MIPP Mentoring Programme currently only has one stream for current professionals and operates in annual cycles. 

 

Please note, applications to be a mentee are now open. The next cycle will commence in September 2024 and will run up until August 2025. Successful applicants will be paired with a senior leader from the sector who they will be expected to meet quarterly (at least) throughout the course of the programme. The programme also consists of an induction, mentors-led workshops and a closing networking event. You can find a summary of key information here.

We welcome applications from both Muslim communities and non-Muslim individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. The following indicators will be assessed during the application process to measure socioeconomic background eligibility:

 

  • Parents' educational qualifications

  • Type of school attended at age 11 to 16

  • Free school meal eligibility

Leadership is a key priority for us. Developing this skillset and providing leadership exposure is important to ensure there is senior leadership representation across local and central government organisations in the UK.

That is why, here at MIPP, we are keen to connect the current and next generation of public policy professionals. 

 

We will therefore offer a mentoring stream for:

 

  1. Current public policy professionals: this stream is focused on developing and upskilling the current public policy workforce. Mentors will range from senior professionals in local government and the civil service (managerial level and above). As an applicant, you will be a current public policy professional working in a civil service department, local authority or an arms-length public service body. We prefer applications from individuals with minimum 2-3 years of professional experience.
