I am a Student – what’s in it for me?

Lincoln Connect makes it easy for students like you to get in touch with alumni and employers to seek advice and information about their industries.

You can connect as and when you need advice, or take part in more formal mentorship programmes.

Finding a mentor through Lincoln Connect can help you:

  • explore your options for the future
  • gain an insight into careers options in different sectors
  • develop your communications skills
  • grow professional relationships
  • increase your confidence when networking and making new contacts
  • learn from recent graduates who share your Lincoln experiences

Finding a mentor is a great way to discover how graduates and professionals made their way into work after leaving University, what challenges they may have faced and what they’ve learned over their career so far.

Our Lincoln Connect Student Guide has more information on how to get started.

I’m an Alumni or an Employer – why should I join?

Lincoln Connect is an informal mentoring platform. You can use Lincoln Connect to become a mentor to current University of Lincoln students and pass on your knowledge and experience of your industry to the next generation of graduates.

Students can ask for advice on an ad hoc basis or enrol in formal mentoring programmes. As a mentor you can make the platform work around your schedule. Formal programmes are discretionary so if your time is limited, you can offer your help when it suits you.

You can also share insights, resources or career highlights on the platform’s main feed or in dedicated groups, so students can benefit from your knowledge at any time.

Mentorship allows you to:

  • support talented individuals to achieve their goals
  • add an extra specialism to your own CV
  • use new skills within your current role and organisation
  • give back to your University

We hope that mentoring a student through Lincoln Connect will be just as beneficial to you as it is to our students, and may give you an idea of the bright new talent coming out of the University of Lincoln and into the job market.
