We offer both short- and long-term mentoring opportunities to help kickstart your career. Whether you’d like advice on how to get to your ideal job, want guidance on navigating career paths or are interested in developing your skillset, Future Ready Mentoring can support you, even from the comfort of your home.

People helping each others climb steps

The last few years have been tough for students and the increasingly competitive job market has highlighted just how important it is to begin planning your career earlier on. Fortunately, our range of Future Ready Mentoring opportunities offer you the chance to gain first-hand knowledge and insights into the world of work by being matched with a professional mentor. 

We have hundreds of mentors from a diverse range of industries, cultures and backgrounds who want to help you. They can equip you with the right mindset, share valuable professional insights, assist with developing your skillset and support the growth of your network, so you can tackle the working world with confidence. Open to both students (L5 and above) and recent graduates (of the last 3 years), our long and short-term mentoring opportunities can take place over the phone, or your choice of recognised video meeting platform. 

  • Career Mentoring Programme (Long-term Mentoring)  

Our award-winning Career Mentoring Programme matches participants for a six-month or three-month long mentoring relationship. We have two intakes for the programme each year with cycle 2 applications now open!

To take part, you will need to be able to commit to a minimum of three mentoring sessions over a three-month period. The application process involves an online form through Engage, and if successful, completing mentee training which will take place in late February. Applications close on Sunday 13 February 2022 at midnight. You can apply via Engage now

  • Ask a Mentor Service (Short-term Mentoring)

As an alternative for those who are looking for short-term mentoring opportunities, the Ask a Mentor Service offers you the chance to have a one-off conversation with one of our mentors. 

This one-off mentoring session can be used to ask for career advice on a range of topics, for example, guidance on job / internship search, application or interview preparation tips, or for asking industry-specific questions. Applications are currently open, and you can apply via Engage now.  

We hope you make the most of these opportunities and feel inspired to start your mentoring journey and unlock your full potential!
