Personal Mentor
Someone in your corner.
Your Personal Mentor is one person who's got your back. They help you work out what you want, keep you accountable and cheer you on — from your first application to your first payslip and beyond.
How it works
- 1
Get matched
Tell us about you and your goals and we'll match you with a mentor who fits.
- 2
Meet and plan
Your first chat is about you — where you are, where you want to be and the first steps.
- 3
Check in, keep moving
Regular check-ins keep you on track. Stuck? Message your mentor between sessions.
What your mentor helps with
Big decisions, small wins and everything in between.
Finding your direction
Work out what you're good at and what you actually want to do.
CVs and applications
Honest feedback that gets your applications noticed.
Interview nerves
Practise out loud with someone who's on your side.
Settling into work
First weeks, tricky managers, new routines — talk it through.
Money decisions
First payslip, first rent, first savings. Get it right from day one.
Staying accountable
Someone who notices when you've gone quiet — and helps you restart.

How do sessions happen?
Video, phone or chat in the app — whatever works for you.
What if we don't click?
