What's involved?

• In the first instance, registering on the Alumni Careers Connect platform to become a mentor. This involves providing a short career profile that can be viewed by platform users
• Providing advice and insights related to your career path, profession or organisation to students, researchers and alumni who contact you through the platform

Why volunteer?

• Develop your transferrable mentoring skills for future people management or leadership responsibilities
• Gain satisfaction from helping people increase their confidence and progress with their career choices and ambitions
• Promote your sector and profession

Time involvement

The amount of time you put in is up to you. You can pause or withdraw your account at any time and set a limit on the number of people you’re willing to support.
