I've had some really good conversations with my place of work and have instigated possible routes for my project to help develop and incentivise students that embark on a transitional process through an educational establishment.
There are already some existing mentor groups at my work place but I discussed this with Nikki Hill - (Student engagement officer) and Rachael Glover - (Undergraduate support)
Although there is some form of mentorship platform, there is a real chance to help develop something a little more niche. During this meeting, I put forward some ideas and thoughts in how I would like to engage more mature and BAME learners, where I feel there are certainly some avenues to explore in being able to help more people from backgrounds that may need more encouraging support than what they have previously received.
I explained in the meeting that I want to develop a framework that I could potentially take on the road as it were. This could lead to me introducing a working model into other schools and universities.
I will be holding another meeting with this team next week. I'm very excited about the developments.
