Inspire the next generation

Mentorship that matters: Four hours to inspire a young person

Our dynamic mentoring programme for Haberdashers’ sixth formers connects them with professionals from our extensive membership and community networks. Habs Aspire aims to build confidence, increase awareness of different career paths, and give students practical advice and support as they move into the wider world. Together, we can equip the next generation to succeed.

The one consistent message we get from our students when we ask them how we can improve our events is that they want more – another night, to meet up with the same students again, other sectors. There is a limit to what we can do with events, so we need to find additional ways to meet this need.

The Aspire mentoring programme is designed to address this challenge. In time, we aim to provide a professional mentor to each of our sixth form students.

Aspire

When someone outside your circle shows an interest in you and your future, and commits to it, and gives practical advice and support – you can’t put a price on that. That is Aspire!

Together we can create a powerful network of mentees and mentors. We know the importance of mentoring for young people so they can be guided in their next steps.

We are looking for mentors from a wide range of professional backgrounds and stages in their career – as  varied as our school students.The most important thing is a commitment to the programme and an interest in supporting young people.

Habs Aspire mentors are:

  • Passionate about supporting young people
  • Strong communicators with good inter-personal skills
  • Good listeners
  • Flexible
  • Non-judgmental
  • Supportive and empathetic
  • Candid and honest
 

As a mentor you will provide individual support and guidance to mentees to support them to reach their goals. Working together you will create a plan and support your mentee to set targets, structure conversations and prepare for their future.

Whether you are an experienced mentor, or have never worked with this age group before, we will equip you with the training and resources you need to support a Haberdasher Sixth Former to reach their goals.
