What the mentors say:

My experience of mentoring has been brilliant; I've worked with two different mentees and seen both increase in confidence. I've even supported one of them to achieve the internship they hoped to be part of. I have gained a real sense of accomplishment from working with the mentees, along with honing my own coaching skills. Their willingness to learn is what keeps me coming back to mentoring year after year."

- Jonathan Beagles, Training Consultant BA German with Business Studies Alumni

What the mentees say:

My mentor held nothing back in dipping through his wealth of experience to provide me with valuable information on how to improve on my career prospects. His candid advice about my CV helped in securing attention from potential employers and he was genuinely interested in my progress.”
