Become a Career Mentor to a Herts graduate

We are actively seeking professionals from a range of industries to become mentors. You will play a key role in building mentees' confidence in their skills and prospects as they transition into the workplace.

• You will have proven professional experience, which is likely to have been obtained over a period of at least 2 years.
• Mentors with experience in recruitment processes are highly sought after as they can provide valuable insights about job applications, CVs and interview approaches.
• Herts alumni are particularly desirable mentors because of their shared experience.
• We’re especially keen to hear from male mentors and professionals working in tech-related fields, as we expect higher demand for mentors with these backgrounds this year.

Taking part in our mentoring programme offers meaningful benefits for your organisation and your people:

• support staff development – mentoring helps your staff to develop their professional judgement, communication, and leadership skills;
• strengthen your social impact – the scheme can contribute to your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals, Equality and Diversity initiatives, and staff volunteering programmes;
• raise your profile – mentoring helps you build visibility and shape a more diverse and skilled future workforce;
• low time commitment – there’s no cost involved, just a small investment of time from participating staff.

By supporting mentoring, you’re not only investing in your people, you’re also helping graduates take their first steps into the world of work.
