In today’s fast-paced world, growth requires more than ambition—it requires clarity, intentional development, and the right guidance. The JFT mentorship program is designed to support individuals through real-life career journeys, leadership development, and personal growth. It is grounded in lived experience—navigating transitions, building confidence, and making decisions in evolving and sometimes uncertain environments.
This is personal mentorship offered in an independent capacity, focused on your growth—not institutional training. The JFT mentorship program creates a space where you can learn directly from Dr. Florence Tanui and connect with other like-minded individuals across STEM and beyond. It is about learning from real experiences, sharing perspectives, and growing together in a supportive and practical way.
Through the JFT mentorship program, you are encouraged to reflect on your journey, gain clarity, and take practical steps toward your goals. Whether you are just starting out or looking to grow into your next phase, the focus is on helping you move forward with confidence and purpose.
More than guidance, the JFT mentorship program offers perspective. It bridges the gap between education and real-world experience, especially for those who feel their journey is just beginning or evolving. This is a personal mentorship space built around guidance, reflection, shared learning, and action—designed to help you grow in a way that is both meaningful and achievable.

Professional Mentorship
Starting a career can feel limiting—especially when you have just graduated and your CV reflects mainly the courses you have completed. The JFT mentorship program offers a starting point to move beyond that stage. Through personalised mentorship, you receive guidance at a personal level, learning from real experiences and practical insights.
This pathway also creates opportunities to engage with JFT Academy as a volunteer, allowing you to gain hands-on experience while building confidence and strengthening your professional profile. The goal is to help you expand your perspective, develop relevant skills, and position yourself more competitively. Through the JFT mentorship program, your journey begins to reflect not just what you studied, but what you are capable of achieving.
Science Communication & Knowledge Translation
Scientific knowledge that does not inform solutions has limited impact. The JFT mentorship program recognises the importance of not only understanding complex concepts but also communicating them effectively. This pathway focuses on strengthening your ability to translate technical knowledge into clear, practical messages.
Through shared experiences and communication tools, you learn how to engage diverse audiences—from communities to decision-makers. The JFT mentorship program supports you in building confidence in your voice, ensuring that your knowledge can influence understanding, inspire action, and contribute to real-world solutions.
Leadership & Impact Skills
The world today requires multidisciplinary thinkers who can navigate complexity and lead with purpose. The JFT mentorship program provides guidance to develop leadership skills that go beyond technical expertise. This includes decision-making, systems thinking, and the ability to move from knowledge to action.
This pathway focuses on strengthening your capacity to lead in dynamic environments while maintaining clarity and direction. Through the JFT mentorship program, you build the mindset and skills needed to create measurable impact, positioning yourself not only as a professional, but as a leader capable of driving change.
