Career Mentoring for Newcastle University Students

Looking to get ahead in your career?

Career Mentoring offers Newcastle University students career support through pairing you to a mentor working in the region.  Mentoring pairs you with a mentor working in industry to help you make contacts, and get an insight into their job role and organisation.

You will be paired with a mentor and have at least four sessions over a four to five month period.  The frequency of these sessions and where they take place is up to you and your mentor to decide, so the programme is flexible around your other commitments.

Who could be my mentor?

We currently have mentors available within the IT sector, including local companies such as Scott Logic and Bede Gaming.  Your mentor could be anyone from a recent graduate, senior project and team managers, individuals working on a freelance basis, and CEOs of start-up companies.  You’ll be matched to a mentor based on what you want to achieve from the programme.

If you’re looking for advice about how to tackle tricky interview questions, what to expect from a placement / internship, or how to get ahead in your career – your mentor can use their experience and knowledge to help you.
