Time to go back to school?

British ORT's innovative JUMP project matches Year 12 students in Jewish schools with mentoring professionals who are already established in a career that they are interested in, helping them understand the world of work.

Now in its 3rd successful year, JUMP is looking for new mentors. Could it be you?

Mentors are people who have demonstrated a certain level of responsibility within an organisation or have successfully applied their entrepreneurial skills to the setting up of their own company and can be from both the public and private sectors.

All mentors are given a full briefing and support in fulfilling their important role. Mentors meet their allocated student once every six weeks for 1 hour at their place of work. Students also research their mentor’s industry, take meeting notes and complete a file to be presented at the end of the programme.

What are the benefits for the volunteer mentor?

Mentors can improve their personal skills in coaching and managing people and the JUMP programme can be part of your company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative and - perhaps most importantly - mentors will be guiding and benefitting the next generation of Jews in the workplace.

How do I apply?
