The Promentor Programme: An Alumni Mentoring Programme

This programme offers an unrivalled opportunity to engage with a range of experienced career professionals in a mentoring context. 

Mentees

Each year, 10 University of Oxford students are selected to join the programme, following an application process. Eligible students are invited to apply via email, and will complete the process via the Promentor Programme page on CareerConnect. The Programme lasts for up to 3 years of the Undergraduate degree or for the duration of their Foundation year if an Astrophoria Student. 

Mentees on the Promentor Programme will receive: 

  • Training so students are ready to fully engage in the programme and are equipped with the tools to do so.
  • Introductions to up to 2 mentors, currently working in their sectors of interest. Introductions take place in Hilary term and Trinity term.
  • A £250 annual discretionary payment based on engagement with the programme
  • Invitations to social and networking events.

The programme totally pushed me to think seriously about what I want in the future and what different sectors can provide me. I certainly wouldn't be at the stage I'm at now without the programme

The Promentor Programme has not only enhanced my time at Oxford and made it feel worthwhile. The direct support provided by the director allows you to feel close to the programme and not frightened to venture forwards. The programme has opened my eyes to what life could look like after my time here is up - and it does feel as though time goes by so quickly during my studies. The programme provides growth and stability during uncertain times - it fosters networking and mental clarity in careers going forward. The Programme is highly flexible - my interests were niche - yet were met swiftly by its impressive alumni base - something that would not be imaginable had I not taken the courage to apply. Finally, the Promentor Programme binds together individuals with different interests yet a common drive to grow - a true gem
