Graduate E-mentoring for final year students

Mentor
Your graduate e-mentor can help you decide what to do and how to get ahead after graduating

We can match you up with a recent Aston graduate who can give information and guidance as you complete your final year and enter the next stage of your life. Your mentor can provide email advice on:
  • Your chosen career area
  • Volunteering and how to improve your employability
  • Further study options
  • Gap years and travelling
  • Choices and decisions since graduating

How does it work?

You will be matched by your choice of graduate career and/or any other areas of interest to a graduate mentor. All mentors are recent Aston graduates and are volunteers, happy to share their experiences and knowledge with you.  

The benefits of having a mentor are far-reaching and include:

  • Having access to someone who has been there and done that before you – find out what they did and how they did it!
  • Someone to listen and advise as you plan your life beyond Aston
  • Having a personal mentor means there is no question too big or small
  • Development of your own interpersonal skills such as communication, planning and time management
  • Upgrading your CV – highlighting your participation in a mentor scheme is highly valued by employers!
