The Diana Award - Mentoring Online Opportunities

ONLINE CAREERS FAIR_

The Diana Award Mentoring Programme will be delivering our Online Careers Fair from 15 July to 19 July 2024.  Over the last two years, over 3200 young people have participated in our Online Careers Fair project. The project improved their transferrable careers skills, knowledge of routes to education, employment and training, and confidence.

95% told us that they know which skills they need to reach their career ambitions 
93% told us that they feel confident in using these skills to reach their career ambitions 
90% told us that they felt hopeful about their career pathway

This year, we want to support even more young people to reach their potential!  

HOW DOES IT WORK : Our Online Careers Fair project aims to provide every young person with the knowledge and skills they need to support their career ambitions. The sessions are open to all young people aged 11-18 but will be particularly useful for young people aged 15-18.

The week will consist of 15 sessions, covering topics such as apprenticeships and routes into work, AI and digital advancements in the workplace, and behind the scenes information on some of the UK’s biggest companies.

Sessions will last around an hour and will be facilitated by The Diana Award Mentoring Programme Team and our professional volunteer mentors.   
Sessions will be delivered as Zoom webinars.   
The timetable for the week, with links to sign up for events, can be found here.
