Adult Mentoring

Our Adult Mentoring programme pairs people looking to achieve a goal with experienced industry mentors. Whether the goal is to get back into work or training, develop confidence in the workplace, change careers or develop a specialised skill.

We tailor each mentor’s expertise to your unique situation to ensure you’re getting the most insightful advice and support. Work with a mentor to:

  • Develop an action plan to achieve your goal
  • Develop skills
  • Build confidence
  • Increase self-awareness and effectiveness
  • Gain industry-specific knowledge

My mentor clearly told me the best way to apply, how to do my CV and interview for [my] sector, and created a strategy in order to get the most from my experience … It exceeded my expectations and so I think it was fantastic.
