Exclusive to first and second year Engineering and Business students
Babcock Mentoring Scheme

Babcock International alongside the Careers Service and academics Rumbi Mukono, Ming Day and Jahir Rizvi have collaborated to continue this project into the second year. We have an incredible 30 spaces available for students in their first or second year undertaking courses within Plymouth Business School or engineering courses within School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics.

Babcock is a leading provider of critical complex engineering services across four key sectors: marine, nuclear, land and aviation. Participants will benefit from one-to-one mentoring sessions, peer support drop-ins, a Babcock led insight day and a mock assessment centre.

Mentoring: helping to launch careers

"Mentoring is a great opportunity to engage with employees and hear their experiences and advice for employment in the engineering sector. Thanks to my mentor's help with my CV and interview skills, this summer I have managed to get some work experience with an engineering firm!"
