 Meet your mentor: Career Ready Icebreaker event


On Thursday 2 February, Lambeth College hosted their first Icebreaker event which launched the Career Ready mentorship scheme aimed at helping students build their career.   Business mentors from businesses, including FleishmanHillard Fishburn and BP, met Learners to help them start a career plan.  Learners will meet with their mentor every month to receive support in planning their career and to develop the necessary interview and career skills.

The mentor scheme is run in partnership with Career Ready, a UK wide charity linking employers with schools and colleges to open up the world of work to young people.  Mentor support their Learner candidates for 12 months in the year through face-to-face meetings, Skype, email and phone calls to help and guide them into their career of choice.
