Mentorloop Pro's Program Themes give you a pre-built signup form and matching rules tailored to your program's goals, so you can launch with confidence without having to start from scratch. There are three themes to choose from: Classic, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI), and Community.

What information does every theme collect?

All three themes collect the following base information from participants at signup:

• Gender
• Pronouns
• Job Title
• Work Experience
• Location
• Bio
• Ice Breakers
• LinkedIn Profile

For many of these questions, you can exclude them from the form entirely, or customise and add answers, including for Department, Organisation, Ice Breakers, and others. Whichever theme you choose, you'll have plenty of room to shape the form to fit your program.

What is the Classic theme and who is it for?

The Classic theme is the go-to choice for first-time program coordinators and internal corporate programs, especially those with multiple goals. It's built for connecting employees, empowering skills development and knowledge sharing, and strengthening cross-department relationships.

Program goals well-suited to the Classic theme include:

• Strengthening cross-department working relationships
• Connecting employees from different branches or regions
• Knowledge sharing between senior and junior employees
• General career development and guidance

What is the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion theme and who is it for?

The DEI theme is designed for programs with a specific focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion outcomes. The form and matching rules are oriented towards surfacing and supporting underrepresented groups within an organisation.

Program goals well-suited to the DEI theme include:

• Increasing women and people of colour in engagement or leadership pathways
• Promoting the welfare of employees with disabilities
• Providing support for cultural minorities within an organisation

What is the Community theme and who is it for?

The Community theme is ideal for industry associations and community organisations running programs to foster participation, connect members around a shared interest or purpose, or support advocacy outcomes.

Program goals well-suited to the Community theme include:

• Empowering members of a field of interest to share ideas and promote innovation
• Making personal and professional guidance available to specific interest groups — such as formerly incarcerated persons, parents returning from parental leave, or new immigrants entering the workforce

How do themes affect my program setup?

Each theme configures your signup form fields and matching rules differently to align with your program's goals. The image below shows how they compare:

How do I choose a theme, and can I change it later?

You don't have to choose your theme manually. As you move through Mentorloop Pro's Program Builder, Mentorloop will automatically suggest a theme based on the information you've provided about your program goals.

You can explore all three themes in demo mode before committing, and switch themes at any point before launch. Learn more about preparing for launch here.
