The application deadline is August 27th. Everyone who applies can participate in Part 1. For Part 2, if we receive an overwhelming number of applications, preference will be given to those in the later stages of their career. For Part 2, you must submit the CV and Cover Letter you’d like feedback on. Please ensure you provide your most polished CV and Cover Letter by the deadline as the selection for the Mentor’s Roundtable is not first-come, first-served.
Applicants will be notified of the results via email around September 2-3.
We look forward to a strong turnout and your active participation.
Warm regards,
KAERA Mentoring Committee
