The Mentoring Scheme: We are currently compiling a database of all those who wolud be willing support our new graduates at the start of their career. There will be strict guidelines in place for both the mentor and student.

The Buddy System: If you are at University, or just graduated, your help could be invaluable to out 6th form students. 'On the ground' knowledge of universities and their courses would help oursixth formers with their choices.
