Linknet Mentoring

LINKnet provides one-to-one mentoring for education, employment, and personal development. There is also an online drop-in service every day from 10 am to 4 pm that provides short-term support on employability, education, and information on issues including housing, benefits, domestic abuse, or mental health. Support is also offered on the importance of oral health. Job seekers who do not have UK work experience will be invited to volunteer with LINKnet or with partner organisations to get work experience. They will be requested to work online. English language support is also provided by volunteer mentors in one-to-one, online mode. From June there will be online teaching. LINKnet's mission is to provide one-to-one mentoring support to minority ethnic individuals including refugees and asylum seekers in their pursuit of employment, education, and personal development in order to improve their quality of life. Mentoring is offered on the strands of academic, career, and personal development. Through individual development, the project hopes to achieve a collective impact on the minority ethnic community as a whole in their struggle to be better represented.
