Can you spare around an hour a week to be an E-MENTOR to help guide a 16-19 year old student on their path to a successful future?
I've been chatting with Diane Vernon,(http://www.linkedin.com/pub/diane-vernon/6/1a7/990), at Career Academies UK and she was telling me about their fantastic new programme called Career Ready. To work successfully they need to find willing volunteers to be E-MENTORS from the business world.
Mentoring is a crucial factor in helping a young person succeed in finding a job or place at University.
As an E-MENTOR you would communicate with a student via a new secure digital platform, as part of a structured programme. This eliminates the need to be located near your student or arrange meetings face-to-face. All E-MENTORS are DBS checked and trained by Career Academies UK.
You know the stats on unemployed young people in the UK, I don't need to remind you of that and if you've always thought of wanting to make a difference, you can do this now by contacting Diane Vernon at diane.vernon@careeracademies.org.uk or speak to her direct on 07786 170588.

Thank you for your support, I really appreciate it. I know this will be very rewarding for some of you.
I will be joining the programme myself!
Warmest regards and wishing you success always!
