This means you can search for other alumni easily, either in your local area or you can find users with similar interests to you. You can send messages via the service, and even make or schedule video calls.

Mentoring programme
We are currently developing a mentoring programme. Through this programme, both mentors and mentees will learn:
- How to motivate and lead others
- How to communicate effectively
- How to be an active listener
- How to set realistic and actionable career goals
- How to give and receive feedback and advice
Anyone can be a mentor. There is no need to obtain any formal qualifications in order to participate. All that is expected of mentors is to:
- Be contactable and able to respond in a reasonable timeframe
- Be available for consultation and advice when sought by their mentee
- Have at least three sessions with their mentees
The first step in becoming part of this unique programme is joining Wolfson Connect. When setting up a profile, it will ask you what you would like to get from the site, whether that be offering services as a mentor, or being a mentee.
