“Pathways to Politics provided me a window into the experience of those who have been politically successful. I’ve loved being able to provide that same opportunity to my mentee as she navigates her own pathway.”
Dr Katie Allen, former Member for Higgins
“I found this experience absolutely first rate. We were able to focus on the centrality of good policy ideas and the ongoing need for reform, as well as the crucial human elements of politics… and particularly the importance of taking the time to listen and genuinely engage with people from all walks of life.”
John Brumby AO, Former Premier of Victoria
“It has been a pleasure to take part in Pathways Alum Mentoring as a mentor. The program provides mentees with a valuable opportunity to better equip themselves with the skills to navigate running for public office, whether that be at a local, state or federal level. Our sessions have allowed me to share honest and frank advice with my mentees about the challenging, but immensely rewarding, process of putting your hand up to run for elected office.”
Senator Sarah Hanson-Young
“It’s not until the rubber hits the road that you realise how valuable a trusted and wise mentor is. My experience of mentoring with Pathways to Politics has enabled me to fast track my learning and draw upon years of political nous, stakeholder engagement and wisdom to inform my first year as a Councillor. I am in absolute awe of my mentor Sally Capp.”
Cr Jenna Davey-Burns, City of Kingston
“I found this experience absolutely first rate. We were able to focus on the centrality of good policy ideas and the ongoing need for reform, as well as the crucial human elements of politics… and particularly the importance of taking the time to listen and genuinely engage with people from all walks of life.”
