Welcome To The Professional Mentoring Scheme
Mentoring is:
“a helping relationship based on an exchange of knowledge,
experience and goodwill.
Mentors help someone less experienced gain confidence, clearer purpose, insight, and wisdom.
In developmental mentoring, the Mentor too, is changed by the relationship.” (David Clutterbuck)
Developed as a result of a successful pilot, the Professional Mentoring Scheme is a new initiative at the University of Sunderland. It is designed to help our students to develop the work related skills they will need to have successful graduate careers. The Scheme draws upon the knowledge and experience of employers and employees who volunteer their time as Professional Mentors.
Through a series on one-to-one mentoring sessions, our students will learn about the attributes and skills they will need to demonstrate in the world of work.
