The YJA’s Mentoring programme is a volunteer-led initiative which aims to support those looking to develop their skills within the field of yachting and boating journalism, PR, marketing, covering print, digital and social media journalism, videography, and photography, whether they are at the start of their career or looking to advance their career.
Through monthly mentoring sessions, Mentees will gain insight into their specific area of interest from Mentors, who are either current or retired in their particular field, helping them to understand and gain insights into their career area and gain confidence.
All Mentors are required to be members of the YJA.
To find out more about the scheme and what is expected, read our YJA Mentoring Programme Document. Or email chair@yja.world
