What is mentoring?
"Mentoring is a supportive form of employee training that many experts believe should be independent from other training activities. Mentoring usually takes place outside the conventional top-down employee-manager relationship. Instead, the mentee sets the agenda based on their own development needs, with the mentor providing guidance to help the mentee achieve their goals."
This mentoring opportunity will give students a chance to link with an experienced professional who
works with a major international vehicle rental company and who has considerable experience in
graduate recruitment. He is ideally placed to provide excellent tips on job search strategy and making yourself stand out from the crowd.
This opportunity will be suited to students based in the Central Scotland area and it is open to students from all subject backgrounds. You must be motivated, enthusiastic and willing to commit both your time and effort to the mentoring relationship.
The mentoring will take place over a period of approximately nine months and will include a combination of face to face meetings, telephone and email contacts at pre-arranged intervals. The time commitment will be no more than a few hours per month.
This visit is being organised as part of the Scottish Government-funded Workplace Experience programme for international students
