Mentors

Ascend is an innovative programme supporting Sheffield’s unemployed young adults to find purpose and jobs. It’s a blend of work experience, priority access to job interviews, group training in workplace skills - and crucially - individual mentoring.

Fortnightly mentoring meetings help Ascenders reflect on their journey, and figure out the next steps as they work to achieve their goals.

As a mentor, you have the full support of the Ascend team, including training and resources to help you make the most of your mentoring sessions.

“I’ve mentored a few young adults now through Ascend, and it’s been so rewarding. I’ve loved watching them grow in confidence as they find the work they were made for.”
