Student Mentoring
"Taking part in the GCU mentoring programme provides students with an excellent opportunity to enhance their employability skills.
It allows them to gain valuable work experience, improves their time management and communication skills and it boosts their confidence in the process. Working with younger people and their families gives them the chance to try out how good they are at leading and inspiring others, listening to other people’s views and putting ideas into action – the very skills that employers are looking for.
Employability is more than presenting the ‘perfect’ CV. Enthusiasm and confidence in their ability to make a difference makes a GCU graduate with mentoring experience stand out from all the others. It’s the perfect start on the road to success."
