Mentoring Programs

Our Mentoring Programme Details

By offering an individual with a mentor, you are giving them a further channel of support to deal with workplace challenges, learn, develop and grow, all of which are a significant help in employee engagement.

More About Our Fly High Mentoring Programme

UKSWA launched The ‘Fly High’ Mentorship Programme for its members in November 2021. To support Social Workers who want to move forward in their career. Mentoring is to support and encourage people to manage their own learning in order that they maximise their potential, develop their skills, improve their performance and become the person they want to be. For more information please read our mentorship Handbook or contact us.

Skills Transfer Programe

As part of Skills transfer we would like to support social work students to have international placement in the UK and vice versa. UK is currently the biggest employment market for overseas trained social workers. The placement will help with cultural exchange on top of sharing skills.

Mock Interviews

A mock interview emulates a job interview with students being given an opportunity to get a first-hand experience of the interview process. The interviewer can be an alumnus, a career counsellor, a volunteer or any individual who has fair experience in his or her respective field.
