Be a mentor
Could you mentor a student?
Our scheme aims to match a student with an alumni mentor like you who has relevant experience in the student’s area of interest. The aim is to help students prepare to find a job when they leave University. Activities could include reviewing CVs and applications, giving information and advice about their chosen career, helping them to identify potential careers, encouraging them to source work experience and internships and being a general source of support and guidance.
At the moment, mentoring relationships take place online, and we ask our volunteers to commit to a minimum of one hour’s support per month, although the frequency and length of meetings can be agreed with your mentee.
You don’t have to have done this before, or reached the ‘top’ of your career to be a mentor; we’re also keen to hear from more recent graduates. You will only be matched to a student where relevant, and we will provide guidance and support on the process.
Mentoring makes a real difference. We all know the benefits of having someone to bounce ideas off, and in gaining advice from those who've gone before. Could that be you? Find out more about how you can support students.
