Mentoring opportunities– calling all thought-leaders!
Are you an Alum who is working in an industry different from the one you studied? Did the role you’re in not exist in its current form when you completed your degree? If that sounds like you, we need you!

Our Members are studying in courses that didn’t exist even five years ago, which means the ability to connect with alumni through their universities are limited. While it is exciting to see new courses develop, like the MA in Philosophy and AI from Northeastern University London, the MPA in Data Science for Public Policy from LSE, and MA Fashion Marketing and Sustainability from University of the Arts London. None of which existed ten years ago.

As the College welcomes its new cohort of Members, we want to help our students navigate the job market, especially if they’re in the first cohorts to graduate. We need our Alumni, trailblazers in their own right, to help illustrate a pathway to success for those that want to follow in their footsteps. We want to celebrate those who are taking a leap of faith and investing in these courses and themselves and show them their studies and skills are well-valued.

If this sounds like you, get in touch to find out more about our Mentoring Programme and how you can help.
