Supporting students and graduates

Mentor a student

We are always happy to welcome new mentors from a range of industries and backgrounds, and we are looking for people who can offer valuable support and encouragement, give an insight into the workplace and work with students to develop their employability skills.
 
Previous mentors have found the experience rewarding as it offers real scope for personal and professional development, and at Career and Employability Services we are committed to supporting our mentors and mentees to benefit fully from the scheme.

Get involved by providing support and opportunities for students and graduates including:

  • Offering internships, placements and graduate job opportunities in your organisation
