Mentoring provides you with career support from an industry professional. Our Career Mentoring Scheme is a positive action programme aimed at students from black and minority ethnic backgrounds.
"The mentoring scheme has been such a good experience; it's also really helped me decide exactly what sort of field that I wanted to go into after uni."
Benefits of mentoring
Mentoring can take many forms but its aim should always be to encourage you to grow personally and professionally.
It can be an invaluable opportunity to learn from someone with experience in a career that interests you, through which you can develop relevant employability skills and knowledge.
Students from previous Career Mentoring Schemes have reported many benefits, including:
- practical support and encouragement in applying for jobs and accessing opportunities in the graduate labour market
- information and insight on job roles, organisations, career structure and opportunities
- individualised career planning and support
- an opportunity to assess and learn how to demonstrate key employability skills.

What our students and graduates say about the programme
"(My mentor) helped me put together a distinctive
CV and
with this I have now been offered my dream
job."

"The experience has been delightful. It’s been great to talk
with someone outside university. Having a mentor has also kept me
going on more actively to find a job and to make sure I have
everything I need to be a successful applicant."
