Volunteer Business Mentors

Solent Skill Quest recruits volunteers from businesses and the local community to be Mentors to young people in schools. Mentors work on a one to one basis with a pupil aged 14-16 and are matched with each other based on shared interests, locality and career choices. Mentoring meetings take place one every two to three weeks in school, and last approximately one hour.

All mentors are trained and provided with a free police back ground check (Criminal Records Bureau Disclosure) and are supported throughout the programme. Mentoring enables pupils to discuss their career aspirations with an older more experienced person who can guide them as they make decisions about their post compulsory education options.
