Our mentoring programme is designed to help students realise their potential through the ongoing support, advice and encouragement of a role model. It provides an opportunity for mentors to share their first hand experiences in order to help students develop the skills, behaviour and attitudes necessary to succeed in their academic and career goals.

How Does Mentoring Work?

We bring students from Tower Hamlets College into contact with professionals from across diverse sectors and industries. Students will have the opportunity to directly find out about the practical aspects of the world of work, how to make contacts and networks and gain useful inside information from people who know the market they want to enter.

Even if students are unsure about what profession they want to go into, mentors can give advice to help them assess their skills and interests and maybe open up doors that might not have been considered before.

The programme is available to all students across all sites and courses. Students meet with mentors at mutually arranged times for approximately an hour every month. This relationship lasts one academic year beginning in September but students can get involved in the middle of the year too.

We also run a related Mentoring project in conjunction with Tower Hamlets Education Business Partnership focussed on the Financial Services industry
