o Time: 2 and 10 February, 9:00am – 1:30pm
o Where: Sussex County Cricket (Brighton)
o Facilitator: Emma Houldesworth

Our mentoring programme is designed to:

o Enhance our mentors’ skills and experience to support them develop their careers
o Support an individual facing barriers to employment on their journey back to work for example:
People experiencing long term unemployment
Young people entering work
People who have a criminal record
People who have been affected by homelessness

By training to be a mentor you will gain valuable workplace skills and put these into practice through a one-to-one supported mentoring match.
