A few testimonials from our amazing mentees!

'My mentor took the time to fully engage with me and my concerns. As someone who is actively going through the graduate application process, I am able to ask questions and receive answers that are more tailored to the graduate entry programme.'


'She gives honest advice that is realistic unlike most mentors from school. I feel a lot more comfortable talking to her. '


'It is very encouraging to be part of this initiative and seeing the enthusiasm and passion of the people behind this scheme through communication and eagerness to improve together with the volunteers. There has been opportunities to give feedback which has been well received and even implemented'
