Careers, Employability and Skills offers an opportunity for undergraduates, in Level 2 or above, to be mentored (one to one) by alumni volunteers who are employed in a managerial, leadership or other significant graduate job role.  Previous mentees have described this as "an amazing experience" where "the quality of the mentors is fantastic",  "valuable networking skills and contacts were opened to me" and the mentor " ..helped me to realise I am a really good candidate for a graduate job and just need to demonstrate how I can add value to the posts I apply for".  

The scheme  provides an opportunity for 20 -50  students who are considering local, UK and global graduate employment options in a range of careers including those open to "any discipline".  Students who are matched with a mentor will engage in a series of 4 positive and constructive conversations about their career and employability plans.  The scheme is open for student applications from Monday 17.9.12 until 4pm on Friday 21.12.12 .  We particularly welcome applications from the following areas:

Queen's students and alumni may apply to the scheme  by completing an application form and e-mailing it to alumnimentoring@qub.ac.uk before Friday the 21st of December at 4pm.  There is an "early bird" matching in mid-november for final year and other students who would benefit from mentoring during Semester  1 (submit application before 31st October to be included in this group).  

Please note that, as places are limited and depend on finding a suitable match of interests, it may not be possible to match all students and alumni who apply on this particular occasion.  Matched alumni career mentors and students will also need to participate in a training activity before commencing the scheme.  This will take the form of a one hour workshop for student mentees and a brief online training activity for mentors.  For further details about the scheme and the application process please read the information provided below, or e-mail us at alumnimentoring@qub.ac.uk.
