Seren Mentor Programme 2026
Equal Education Partners: University Mentor (Fixed-Term, June–December 2026)
We deliver an online mentoring programme for several hundred year 12/13 learners via Seren Academy, helping mentees with university applications, guidance, and insights into university life.
Mentors are matched with students who share similar academic aspirations—sharing expertise in subjects studied, university destinations, interview preparation, and personal statement tips. You’ll provide targeted support and reliable resources throughout the mentees’ application journey.
As a mentor, you’ll receive:
- Weekly support (session outlines, training, speaker opportunities)
- A fixed-term contract (June–December 2026)
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
