ACES (Aluminate Career Enhancement Scheme Scheme), a joint initiative between the Alumni Development Office and the Career Development Team, will be launched in January 2012.
Over 25 alumni will be paired up with students to offer mentoring and advice on their career paths. Brett Arnall, Alumni Development Manager, said: “We are sure the success of this scheme will harness further mentors from our supportive and engaged alumni community. Dom Smith, a 2007 graduate in Film and TV Production, has already signed up to be a mentor. He runs his own magazine, Soundsphere (www.soundspheremag.com), and is currently involved in a new creative business venture (The Creative Condition) housed in the incubation units in the Phoenix Centre.”
Student Services are also launching a Buddy Up Scheme (BUS) early in the New Year: international students will be allocated a student to support them when they arrive at York St John.
