The Careers and Employability Service runs a mentoring programme, which supports students in thinking about their future.
They are now recruiting both mentors and students (mentees) to the 2018-19 programme. Get ahead for the next academic year and increase your chances of being matched to a mentor/mentee in the autumn by applying now!
Mentoring offers a range of benefits, whether you are a student who would value support from someone more experienced than you, or you are a mentor supporting a student to achieve their personal goals.
Mentors can help with:
- career planning
- building professional skills
- interview and applications
- building confidence
- developing a professional network
- diversity support
- and more!
Here’s what a mentee from last year’s programme had to say:
“One of the best activities outside my degree that has enriched my knowledge and directly contributed to my future career.”
Whilst a mentor said:
“I would thoroughly recommend the mentoring process to colleagues and friends, as it is a great way of passing on experience and advice to a next generation of students, who are entering a complex and tricky working environment at this time.”
