+ Broaden your knowledge of the career options open to you
+ Gain job hunting advice, techniques and career guidance from a mentor with professional experience in a relevant field

Who are the mentors?
The mentors have been selected by the Careers and Employment Service and the Higher Education and Research Department and have extensive and specialised industry knowledge and experience. They are all committed to the development of Hospitality, Tourism, Events and Culinary industries and creating a sustainable workforce.
