Hopes for the Programme:
I hope to learn what career paths exist past this degree. I am thankful that my degree is quite versatile however I am quite lost when it comes to job prospects and choosing a career that would best suit me. I am hoping that this programme could give me a sense of clarity, hope and confidence when it comes to choosing my next job. I am a spa therapist with background in the beauty industry but I want to make sure that I am opening the right doors and making the right choices to confidently change careers into what will hopefully be my next permanent role.

Hi everyone. Welcome to the MU Alumni Mentoring Programme 2022! Please use this space to introduce yourself and find out about everyone else participating in the programme.
About me: I joined the MU Experiential Learning Office in 2019 as part of the Future Ready Project, and in 2020 set up the MU Alumni Mentoring Programme as a pilot in collaboration with the Access and Development and Alumni Relations Office. Back then we had no idea how successful the programme would be, and just how much it would help MU students and Alums. Although I shouldn't say it, it is one of my favourite programmes to work on! My hope for this year is that each of you feel welcome, and that every MU student participant feels (even a little bit) more confident in their abilities by the end of the programme!
