We are delighted to announce that Perrett Laver has partnered with University of East London, with 10 of our colleagues supporting the Professional Mentoring Programme.

This robust eight-week initiative pairs students with industry professionals, offering invaluable insights, enhancing employability skills, and fostering professional networks. UEL’s goal is to ensure career readiness for students and graduates across all disciplines.

Programme Highlights:

– Minimum of 3 hours of mentoring over eight weeks.
– Online training sessions for both mentors and mentees.
– Continuous support from Mentoring Officers.

The programme runs three times a year, starting in October, February, and June. The latest cycle began the week of June 17th.

Here’s the feedback from our mentors so far;

“My mentee is doing his MSc in Oil and Gas Management, and we are meeting weekly. He’s shared a CV and we’ve gone over it in terms of how it looks and some of the content, he’s going to write a cover letter so we can talk about how he presents his experience and the narrative he tells about himself as he’s not followed a normal career path. He’s also thinking about applying for a PhD so I have been advising him how to go about that in terms of exploring funding and speaking to academic advisors”

“I have met with my mentee – she was great!  She is currently studying a one-year MBA and will then seek a six-month work placement.  We spoke about what she wanted out of the sessions, and I gave her some tasks to prepare ahead of our next conversation, to help her think through her different options post-degree”
