Design notes

The badge is a cream disc with MENTORSHIP in a heavy serif and PROGRAM in spaced capitals above one drawn knot: a thick graphite line and a thin coral line tied in a sheet bend, the sailor's knot for joining two ropes of different size, each end whipped in the other line's colour. The words name no role, so one badge serves both sides of the pair, and the knot still reads as a thumbnail.

About

Mentorship Program Badge Template, Sheet Bend Knot

A mentorship program badge marks a person's place in a structured pairing: the experienced colleague, teacher or volunteer who guides someone newer, or the mentee who took part and kept going. Employers give it at the close of a six- or twelve-month cohort, universities to peer and alumni mentors, and community programs to volunteers who met a young person week after week. As a digital badge it stays on a profile and in an email signature long after the final meeting.

Post for the recipient to share

This year I took part in our mentorship program, and I have just received my certificate. Six months of regular conversations taught me as much as I hoped to pass on. Thank you to my mentoring partner for the honesty and the effort, and to the program team for making the pairing happen. #Mentorship #Mentoring #ProfessionalDevelopment
