Brookes Connections is a career mentoring service that offers advice and insight from successful professionals.

What can you gain from Brookes Connections?

Brookes Connections is a career mentoring service for students and graduates that has been running since 2019. A mentor gives you support, encouragement, advice and shares their knowledge, insights and skills from the position of being further ahead in their career.

Our mentors are professionals who have forged successful careers and know what employers in their sector or industry are looking for. They can help you draft job-specific CVs and prepare for interviews, as well as introducing you to others working in their area. Some may also be able to offer shadowing and work experience opportunities.

What does it entail?

You'll make initial contact with your mentor through the Brookes Connections platform. You can read the profiles of potential mentors and contact any that are most relevant to you. Once they have agreed to be your mentor, you can then mutually agree the form your contact will take (email, phone etc.). You'll also agree the time commitment with your mentor.

Once you have signed-up, you'll be given a comprehensive guide. It includes step-by-step suggestions on how to conduct the mentoring relationship to ensure it is beneficial to both you and your mentor.

Successful mentoring is based on mutual respect. So engage with your mentor and show them your professionalism, enthusiasm and reliability. 

“Having the opportunity to connect to successful professionals will let you gain an insight into your chosen industry or career as well as provide you with useful advice.”

Gosia Rudnicka, recent Sociology and Education Studies graduate
