CALL FOR MENTORS

Student Mentor Applications Still Being Accepted!

Student Mentorship Programme in Consumer Product Safety

The International Consumer Product Health and Safety Organization (ICPHSO) London 2025, in cooperation with the UK Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS), is pleased to announce that applications for mentors are now open for the International Product Safety Student Mentorship Programme.

The Programme

The Mentorship Programme matches talented students and experienced product safety professionals in a formal mentorship relationship. The Programme aims to foster the development of the new wave of product safety professionals who will be able to advocate and promote consumer product safety more widely.

We are seeking product safety professionals to serve as mentors who will be paired with student mentees. Mentors will attend sessions and events alongside their mentees and any additional Programme-specific events.

Mentors will be:

• Matched with a student mentee: Carefully matched mentor(s) will provide guidance and support and pass on their relevant experience in consumer product safety to their mentees. They will also attend sessions and events alongside their mentees and any additional Programme-specific events.
• Expected to attend dedicated sessions for all the mentees and mentors: Formal sessions prior to, during and after the ICPHSO event will be held specifically for mentees and mentors and specifically for Programme participants.
• Given the opportunity to help shape the future of emerging consumer product safety professionals!

Application Process

Interested mentors should apply online in the link provided by 5 September 2025. Applications can be submitted here: https://form.jotform.com/252254340036144.

In the application, mentors will be asked to:

• Explain their interest in serving as a mentor, and
• Provide information about their approach to consumer product safety, and
  
• Confirm their commitment to participate in the full programme requirements at the in-person conference and pre- and post-virtual events.
  

Timing

All mentor applicants will be informed of the results of their application, and whether they have been selected to serve by mid September 2025.
