The Promentor Programme: An Alumni Mentoring Programme
The Promentor Programme: An Alumni Mentoring Programme
With the generous support of the MaxEm Trust, the Promentor Programme offers mentoring by Oxford alumni exclusively for first year undergraduates at the University of Oxford, for the duration of their undergraduate degree.
This programme is exclusive for students on bursaries and offers an unrivalled opportunity to engage with a range of experienced career professionals in a mentoring context. If you have any questions, or would like to know more about the programme, please contact promentor-programme@careers.ox.ac.uk.
Each year, ten students are selected to participate on the programme, following an application process. Eligible students will be invited to apply via email, and will complete the process via an application form on CareerConnect.
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 three mentors, currently working in their sectors of interest. Introductions take place in Hilary and Trinity Term

A £250 payment for each year that the mentee engages with the programme during their undergraduate degree
