2026 Rose Patten Mentorship Program 

Applications are now open for the 2026 Rose Patten Mentorship Program. 

The Rose Patten Mentorship program is designed for staff-appointed employees who have held a full-time, continuing role at the University of Toronto for at least 18 months. 

If you are looking to grow your career, expand your network and gain valuable insights from experienced U of T colleagues then we invite you to apply to either the Leadership or Learning Partnership streams, based on your current job level.  

Participants in both streams will:  

• Receive one-on-one career guidance from a more senior U of T staff member.  
• Broaden and build professional networks across the university. 
• Gain insight into U of T’s governance, culture and administration. 
• Develop a personalized career plan and associated development plan.   

Program Duration: January – December 2026 
Application Deadline: November 5, 2025
