Mentor Your Way to Employability
The skills that I learnt from the Set4ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵprogram ...[are]... communication, the power of listening and time management.
A student's first week at university can be an incredible experience - all the new people, places, learning opportunities, communities, and so much more on one campus. Being a big part of helping new students to make that transition to study at the tertiary level is what makes Set4ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵMentors special. With Set4ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵcurrently recruiting Mentors for Semester 2, 2024, we take a look at the experience of one of our Mentors from last year reflecting on their experience with Set4ANU.
“This has been an enriching experience for me...I feel like I have taken full advantage of this program in my university life..."
And what did skills did they develop from being a Mentor?
Communication
"Communication has been a key since the introduction with my mentees, I personally liked to send them a weekly message on weekends to check on them and know if they are doing well".
Listening Skills
"Listening skills has been vital in terms of my understanding about mentees and their feelings about the university and other things."
Time Management
"Time management has been critical in regards of tackling my own uni [work]load and being an open communication link for my mentees, asking them about their week and catering to their needs whenever they asked for help."
