FAQ's
The mentors in this service are professionals who understand how hard it can be to find and keep work, and want to help young people in their careers.
They come from a number of different industries, such as labouring and trades, customer service, administration, engineering, logistics, finance, management, sales, engineering, IT, management, communications, marketing and more.
Although there may not be a mentor working in your exact area of interest, all of our mentors have extensive professional experience and can help you to create a plan to get into the area of work you like.
Our mentors have different personal and cultural backgrounds, and where possible, we will help to connect you with a mentor who may have had similar life experiences. However, what all our mentors have in common is that they enjoy working with young people and are passionate about supporting their career goals.
You will connect once every two weeks at a time that suits you. All of this happens online, and you can decide how you want to get in touch (e.g. webchat, telephone or video call).
You can be matched with your mentor for a total of up to six months. This will give you enough time to get to know them and to work together on the goals you set.
