Event description

Inspire our students - Aspirational Mentoring

We hope you can help raise aspiration and awareness with our students of the high impact careers they can pursue. We'd like you to demonstrate the relevance and connection of what is taught in classroom with the jobs you are creating right now by pairing up high achieving young people with high achieving adults.

Stocksbridge school are looking for volunteers who are willing to meet with a student once every term or half term depending on availability for about 1 hour.
The focus of sessions will be on employer expectations and future path ways to employment weather that be further education or vocational training.
Mentors do not need to have any knowledge of further education and training and will be provided with guidelines on what to discuss at each meeting with their match student. This will give young people the opportunity to ask for independent feedback and also explore how their studies are supporting them in the development of transferable skills for both higher education and their future workplace.
