Queen Margaret University's Mentoring Programmes has been continuously running since 2013. The programme works with QMU Alumni and industry professionals seeking to offer employment mentoring and enterprise mentoring to groups for whom statistics show that it can be difficult to find employment. The programme gives committed and enthusiastic students the opportunity to meet with an experienced individual from a relevant sector, who are willing to offer their time, experience and inside knowledge surrounding the world of work. The programme aims to match 50-80 undergraduate students with employer mentors every year. Students are expected to meet with their mentor a minimum of four times, normally within the mentor's place of work or online, between October and the end of May. The meetings will focus on topics of particular interest to the student, which ensures the mentoring focuses directly on the needs of the mentee. Feedback suggests that students acquire a wide range of skills through the programme, including self-awareness, confidence, networking and communication skills.
