Mentor Request
12/02/2021
Dear Colleagues,
Urgent support still required!
Career Ready is a programme designed to “connect disadvantaged young people with the world of work, unlocking their potential and levelling the playing field.”
As we have been supporting this programme for a number of years it is now becoming more challenging to find mentors. There is no denying that being a mentor is a commitment. It requires virtual contact with the young person over the 2 years and the organisation of a 4-week virtual internship.
But the benefits are there:
- A young person from Moray will be given an opportunity they might not otherwise get. It is satisfying knowing that we are in a position to help our young people.
- The mentor will be supported on their journey with full mentor training provided by Career Ready.
- The mentor’s career development and C.V. will be enriched.
- The team or service will benefit during the 4-week internship. We have seen some great examples where services have profited from an extra pair of hands.
This is not just for managers, if you feel would be a great mentor and would appreciate this opportunity please contact your manager.
We urgently require interest from any potential mentors to contact us as soon as possible so that we can continue to fulfil our commitment for this programme.
Any questions that you have regarding this programme, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Many thanks
