Business mentor William Finn in action at The Queensland Academies for Creative Industries as part of the Pathways to Business program.
In the wake of COVID-19, many businesses are changing the way they do things, and here at Ascension, we’re no different. Although one-on-one mentoring if something we’ve been looking to do for a while, we’ve brought forward our launch date and will be running these mentoring sessions digitally. Mentoring is open to any high school student, future students in a gap year, or current university students looking for a change.
These one-on-one mentoring sessions are designed because we acknowledge that when it comes to students thinking about tertiary education, every case is different. This program allows students to receive tailored advice and guidance. Mentors in their respective field, work with students via skype or zoom platform and can answer any questions that students may have. The mentoring session is designed to be driven by the mentee, and so, the content is really up to the student. Topics could include QTAC preferencing, subject selection (uni or senior school), university life, or anything regarding studying/working in their field. Mentoring sessions are one hour in duration and those purchasing multiple sessions can redeem them over a year.

With all of our mentors have a wide range of experience and most holding degrees in their field. If your desired pathway is not listed, simply fill out this form, and we’ll be in touch if we can arrange a mentor for you. You can register and read the biographies for each of our mentors here. Like many Australians, the team at Ascension are incredibly excited to be able to resume everyday life and continue offering our face-to-face Pathways Programs. However, in the interim, we’re excited to continue helping students make informed decisions about tertiary education.
