Hundreds of Greenwich students sign up every year to learn from established professionals via mentoring. This year is no different and the university is expanding its career mentoring programme to students in all four faculties. If you have been thinking about giving back or supporting our students, this is a fantastic opportunity to do so.
Mentoring is a chance to develop your own skills including leadership development as well as the rewarding feeling of supporting a current student. Past mentees also highlight the real impact on confidence, employability skills, industry knowledge, and aspirations after working with a mentor.
Our mentoring programme will commence from January to June 2023 and registration is open until Sunday 30 October. Mentors and mentees will then be matched by the Mentoring Team based on their academic and professional interests.
Read below for information on how to register. If you have any questions please contact Richard Harris (Career Mentoring Manager) at r.a.harris@gre.ac.uk.
