UCD are seeking English and History alumni to take part in a career mentoring programme to act as mentors for currents students in the UCD School of English, Drama & Film, and the UCD School of History.
This programme aims to link current final year students with working professionals who are able to offer support in improving the students' employability and in developing their career ideas.
Students will be matched with mentors based on the information provided in the Mentor Expression of Interest Form and information provided by students.
The programme is scheduled to run from early November 2015 to May 2016. Mentors will be asked to attend a welcome/training event and closing event in UCD, and to hold a minimum of 3 meetings with their student mentee with an estimated total time commitment of 10 hours.
Career mentoring is a valuable experience for both students and alumni. For more details, or to register your interest, click here.
