GEMS Mentoring Event
The GEMS programme operated by the Springboard charity provides a mentoring service for undergraduate students, speaks at universities to promote working in the Tourism, Hospitality and Events sector and showcase industry placement years. Springboard’s work encourages, motivates, builds confidence, develops the skills required and mentors their beneficiaries to succeed in a career within hospitality, events and tourism.
ARUL Students were invited to register and through the registration they had to indicate what they wanted to gain from having a mentor through the initiative. This allowed Springboard to suggest possible mentors for each student individual and on 12th and 19th November ARUL students attended the GEMS matching days where they were able to meet with several mentors Springboard had suggested. The students were then able to choose the mentor they felt they could develop the best relationship with and begin the mentoring scheme.
Many thanks to Springboard for providing this opportunity to ARUL Students and we are excited to see our students prosper with the assistance of their new mentors.
