Alleyn Club Yearbook 2018

ALLEYN CLUB MENTORING PROGRAMME Are you looking for mentoring and career advice from an OA professional? Or are you a professional eager to pass on your knowledge to the next generation? If so, we would be keen for you to join our mentoring programme.

Alumni Mentees As an OA mentee, you will gain insights and advice that can help make your career aims a reality. Your mentor will share advice and personal experience, and in doing so help you build your confidence to allow you to take full advantage of the possibilities open to you.

Alumni Mentors We hope that our mentors will contribute to the personal and professional development of OAs by: • Discussing their career choices and options with them • Encouraging them to talk about their ambitions and hopes for the future • Assisting them to identify their skills, abilities and qualities • Building their confidence and assisting them to improve on their weaknesses • Providing advice about job applications and CV writing • Giving them an insight into a particular industry

What is mentoring? Mentoring is widely recognised as an effective tool for enhancing career prospects and ensuring informed choice. Our Mentoring Programme for alumni of the College is intended to bring together mentors and mentees in purposeful, mutually rewarding relationships. It is designed to provide additional support for OAs as they progress through their careers. Mentoring helps to motivate and inspire the less experienced. It can be an extremely beneficial relationship for both parties which is based on mutual trust and respect.

To be a part of this new initiative either as a mentor or mentee please visit the website for further information and to fill in the application form.

By becoming a Mentor you will inspire excellence and build community by joining our mentoring programme and provide support, advice and career guidance to a fellow OA who will benefit from your unique experience and skills.
