Student and partner stories

Through taking part in the Mentoring Scheme, I received a wealth of valuable advice and developed skills above and beyond my original expectations.

The mentoring scheme is a great way to build a relationship with professionals within the sector that you wish to go into in the future.

I would definitely recommend the scheme to other students. It’s an opportunity to gain experience and advice that can be balanced well with your studies and other commitments.

I acquired a wider understanding of the professional world, gained practical insight into different roles and sectors in the legal arena and acquired new employability skills.

I wish I'd had access to the mentoring scheme as a student and I hope this scheme goes from strength to strength, with plenty of students signing up!

I will be able to see how far my skills have progressed and produce something for the organisation with minimal supervision. This has really helped me feel like I have a responsibility and an impact within the organisation.

Our intern has been a great asset to our work on the Databank and also the wider team more generally.She immediately had a positive impact and helped meet our internal deadlines and even surpass our own set goals.

There’s been a lot of learning we’ve been able to do as a result of the project. The contributions of all three sets of students have been really valuable to Quartet’s work.

Overall, the placement scheme exceeded my expectations and was well worth it. I highly recommend any business to participate in this scheme.

I would absolutely recommend hosting a placement student. There are clear benefits of having hard-working, energetic people supporting any team.

It’s great to have an extra pair of willing hands to support your work, and also a lovely way to introduce students to a sector they may not have considered before.

This unit provided not only theoretical knowledge of how to be a successful consultant, but also allowed me to build practical skills, and invaluable experience, which will aid my future career.
