The Alumni Mentoring Scheme is an opportunity for students and recent graduates to access professional career mentoring from alumni and other professionals.

Whether you are looking for career insights and tips, specific career guidance, help with applications or interviews, or maybe workplace experience or internship opportunities; our alumni mentors are here to try and help you.

Mentors are established professionals willing to dedicate time to share their skills, experience and knowledge. Make the most of the opportunity to get ahead with your career or make a big difference by supporting others. 

The University of Wolverhampton encourages students and staff to volunteer. Volunteering is a great way to develop your skills, enhance your CV and to give something back to the community.

The University of Wolverhampton offers volunteering opportunities at its Arena Theatre, where students can become Front of House volunteers. Students interested in volunteering can also look for external opportunities through organisations like Wolverhampton Volunteers, which lists positions like youth worker and opportunities in areas such as homelessness and housing, emergency response, and environmental projects. 

The University of Wolverhampton offers a wide range of work placements, internships, and volunteering opportunities to help you build experience and boost your career prospects.

From 12-month sandwich placements and summer internships to overseas opportunities, you’ll gain valuable skills, real-world insight, and professional confidence. With full support from our Employability and Placement Unit, you can shape a pathway that strengthens your CV and prepares you for your future.
