School of Marketing
Mentoring Programme
In 2021, the School of Marketing was awarded £68k and a further £60k in 2022 to establish a mentoring programme for young people in marketing.
The mentoring programme is an opportunity for young marketing executives to be exposed to senior marketers who share their experiences in marketing. This programme is designed to help young people navigate their early careers. So far over 700 young people have been inspired to take up mentoring.
“The session helped me overcome a fear of change and try something new. It allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone and listen to like-minded people. I feel as though the advice given about future soft skills and the industry is vital for someone in my position who is trying to navigate the next step.”
