We know that juggling searching for placements as well as studying can be a tricky balance, we offer the chance for Part B students to have monthly 1-2-1 sessions with a Peer Mentor who has returned from placement.

 Please note that we have a limited number of Peer Mentors available so you may be added to a waiting list in the event that we are oversubscribed with interest.

"My peer mentor was extremely encouraging and she game me very good guidelines on how to create a CV and also where to find job roles to apply to. She held me accountable which was very helpful and made sure that I was carrying out what we had planned to further myself on my journey to find an industrial placement"  - Placement Peer Mentoring Mentee

“Learning, laughing and lifting a Hetty vacuum-who knew a workshop could be this fun? Numatic International's visit to Loughborough as Part of the Future Talent Programme was more than just an insight into innovation; it was a reminder that the best careers aren’t just build with knowledge, but with joy along the way. Because when you love what you do, even work feels like a delightful adventure!” Engineering Transitions Event Student Attendee
