What’s In It For Me?
Ementoring will…• Give you someone to talk to about your future• Help improve writing and IT skills• Help build your confidence• Help you to think about your next steps – education or
work – and how to get there!• Allow you more time to think about questions than you
would have with face-to-face mentoring
“It has helped me to be confident in myself and to
study hard to get what I want”
Your ementoring coordinator
• The person who matches you with your mentor and looks after your scheme.
