Why become a mentor?
Mentoring is also an excellent opportunity for continued professional development, a great way to raise your company's profile on campus and, as the programme is competitive and the standard of applicants very high, it is also a good way to target quality student and spot talent.
You can help a student in the following ways:
- By providing them with an insight into your specific job, industry or sector;
- By offering advice on CVs, applications and interviews or being self-employed;
- By assisting with their career action planning;
- By helping them to improve employability skills such as presentations, networking and commercial awareness.
