OUR BUDDY PROGRAMME 2021
We are excited to announce the completion of our first six-month career focused Buddy Programme. Connecting 30 of our graduating students with volunteer young professionals, helping them transition from university into the workplace.
By enabling mentees to develop core skills from each workshop attended, it will build their confidence and knowledge on how to positively approach finding a job in a competitive market.
HOW THE BUDDY PROGRAMME WORKS
30 graduating students divided into seven Buddy Groups by territory and partner charity
Each Buddy Group has a Buddy Leader and a nominated mentee ‘captain’ representing their group
The six-month Buddy Programme includes one monthly workshop hosted by a volunteer speaker from each of the disciplines
Buddy Groups provided with a communication platform for homework and discussion around the workshops
Mentor and Buddy Leader alignment is essential to support the mentees in the buddy groups
Encourages peer to peer support, collaboration and sharing of best practice and experiences by learning from each other along this programme
By enabling mentees to develop core skills from each workshop attended, it will build their confidence and knowledge on how to positively approach finding a job in a competitive market.
