Mullany e-mentoring is completely free, a STEM Cymru Award winner for Best Educational Programme (not for profit). It is specifically targeted at learners who'd benefit from one-to-one careers support. To date we’ve already worked with 35+ schools and 2000+ young people in South Wales.

our e-mentors work with 14-19 year olds (schools choose their age-group focus)

the young person registers, and tells us which STEM, healthcare or life science career interests them

we match them to a specialist mentor who is working or training in that field

we’ve got 300+ e-mentors in industry,  professions, or training/university (working across 43 STEM specialisms), all DBS-checked

mentoring takes place via our protected app, using 1-2-1 moderated online chat across a whole term

there's tailored advice about the specific career and pathways, and more general study support/confidence building

e-mentoring can extend into Career Insight Talks/Visits - this programme changes every term

What an incredible day inspiring the next generation of HV Engineers in Blaenau Gwent! 

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
What an incredible day inspiring the next generation of HV Engineers in Blaenau Gwent! Today, Simon Yates and Nigel Jones joined forces with some truly brilliant partners to help deliver a hands-on STEM event for the comprehensive schools in Blaenau Gwent – and the response from the students was brilliant. We brought real high-voltage demonstration cables so the students could see genuine HV assets up close and safely get hands-on with them. The questions they fired at us were outstanding – sharp, curious, and bursting with passion. There’s a wealth of talent right here in South Wales, yet the high-voltage and extra-high-voltage industry remains a massively untapped career opportunity for our local young people. We need to change that – together! Huge thanks to everyone who made today so special: DACI Utilities Engineering Consultancy Ltd with Blake Edwards CEng MIET and Giles Barker, thank you gents– your jaw-dropping professionally printed 3D street model from FLEX 3D had students and teachers absolutely mesmerised. And shoutout to your top-tier engineering professional services in LV/HV/EHV network design, transmission, and earthing solutions – true innovators in utility engineering! Watch their page for more! BRUSH Group with Rebecca Brittain Chartered FCIPD, your team were phenomenal sharing apprenticeship opportunities and career paths. Nigel started his own journey with Brush many years ago, so standing alongside you today, giving a little back, felt incredibly full-circle for him. Blaenau Gwent STEM team led by Julie Timothy MCMI, thank you and your brilliant team for the fantastic support and for championing these youngsters every step of the way. This is what collaboration looks like: industry, education, and local authorities coming together to show our young people that rewarding, future-proof careers in the Extra High Voltage energy sector are right here on their doorstep – with broader opportunities to work across the whole UK. To every student we met today – we saw the spark. The future of HV engineering in South Wales looks very bright indeed, we just need the stepping stones to help lead the way. More to come in 2026! #STEM #HighVoltage #EHV #EngineeringCareers #Apprenticeships #SouthWales #BlaenauGwent #InspiringTheNextGeneration #EnergySector

With most primary schools in Blaenau Gwent having received a brand-new 3D printer, BG STEM and Coleg Gwent are now organising workshops with each school.

The workshop will be a full day and are intended to help encourage teaching staff to deliver content with the 3D printer. Students will become familiar with the device while designing either a ball-bearing maze game or a Minecraft inspired medieval castle. Each project will require students to use precision to develop an accurate design. Creativity will be encouraged to personalise their maze or castle, so they are unique to each student.
