At How To Become A…, we’re passionate about connecting students with meaningful work experience opportunities.
We partner with companies to offer placements where travel costs are covered, helping to remove geographical barriers and make opportunities more accessible to everyone.
If in-person experience isn’t feasible, there are still plenty of ways to get involved — from webinars and virtual sessions to mock interviews, CV workshops, and career talks. Even a small amount of your time can make a real difference.
We handle the logistics to keep things simple, and by supporting even one student, you’re helping shape their confidence and open doors at a crucial stage in their career journey.
Mentoring plays a powerful role in shaping career decisions — offering trusted, unbiased advice, personalised support, and fresh perspectives to help navigate complex choices.
It’s not just for students either; whether you’re looking for a mentor or interested in becoming one, we’d love to hear from you. We have a growing network of people on both sides, and the impact it can have is significant.
Time commitments are agreed in advance before any mentor or mentee is matched, ensuring expectations are clear and the experience works for everyone involved.
We’re always looking to explore new industries, roles, and career paths, and to uncover stories that people might not otherwise hear or even know exist.
If you have a journey, insight, or experience you’re open to sharing, you can reach and inspire our audience by joining us as a guest. It’s always a relaxed, informal conversation, and I’d genuinely love to chat with you and hear your story.
