The RDE Virtual Mentoring Academy provides structured guidance, practical support and clear development pathways for people building, changing or advancing their careers. Learners receive direction, accountability and role-focused support that helps them turn knowledge into confident workplace action.
Mentoring starts from the beginning. Learners assess their current position, establish realistic objectives and follow a practical development plan. Our approach connects guided learning with workplace exercises, collaborative activities, constructive feedback and measurable progress.

Who the Academy Supports
The Academy supports career starters, career changers and experienced professionals who need practical direction. It also enables employers, public-sector teams and employment-support organisations to commission structured mentoring for individuals or cohorts.
From Learning to Application
Learners do more than receive advice. They apply new knowledge, reflect on results, strengthen professional habits and build credible evidence of their capabilities. The objective is clear: help every learner move forward with direction, stronger judgement and greater readiness for real opportunities.
