Mentoring
Student Futures’ new Professional Mentoring Programme connects UON students with alumni and professionals, giving participants the opportunity to share experiences and insights, fostering the development of self-confidence and skills.
The mentoring programme is open to undergraduate students who are looking to gain further insight into industry, explore potential career paths, or develop professional skills. Students are paired with professionals to meet online on a one-to-one basis.
Each programme runs for a period of 12 weeks, with a minimum commitment of meeting online at least six times. Participants will be provided with an online training session and resources to fully prepare themselves for the programme.
