Session 23: LJMU mentorship programme: making a lasting impact

Abstract

Session overview:

Liverpool John Moores University’s Mentorship Programme, delivered through LJMU Connect, is a transformative initiative designed to support students and recent graduates as they navigate their career journeys. By connecting them with experienced alumni mentors, the programme fosters professional growth, confidence, and invaluable networking opportunities.

Mentorship provides mentees with guidance on career decisions, industry insights, and skill development, helping them transition successfully from university to the workplace. At the same time, mentors gain personal satisfaction from giving back, strengthening their leadership skills, and expanding their own professional networks.

Through LJMU Connect, participants can easily find and engage with mentors, setting goals and tracking progress in a structured yet flexible way. The programme supports a wide range of career paths, ensuring tailored advice for each mentee’s aspirations.

The impact of mentoring extends beyond individuals—creating a stronger, more engaged alumni network that benefits both current students and graduates. Many mentees go on to become mentors themselves, reinforcing a culture of support within the LJMU community.

Join us in making a difference. Whether as a mentor or mentee, your participation can shape futures, build confidence, and open doors to new opportunities. Together, we create lasting connections.
