Mentors play an important role in the SKILL! Programme.  As volunteers from our corporate partners, the mentors impart real world knowledge and insight, aiding students’ learning during the SKILL! Workshops and enhancing their ability to communicate in a professional way.

The mentors themselves learn new skills and have common perceptions challenged during their time at the SKILL! Workshops.  Below is a small selection of the feedback from our corporate mentors.

“I have learned team management skills – Making sure participants maintained focus and channelling ideas accordingly.”
