Volunteering opportunities

Tell your story

Inspire students by sharing your story through an alumni case study. It could be about your time at university, your career journey or things you've learned along the way. Alumni profiles are a fantastic way for prospective and current students to visualise where their time at Sheffield may lead them.

Offer guidance and advice

Mentoring is a great way to share your experience and develop your own skills. You can offer an insight into your job, the skills required, the challenges you face and your advice for students wanting to pursue a similar role to yours. Communication is by email and/or Skype and is typically one exchange per week with your mentee for 8-10 weeks.

Become an eMentor

Provide a job opportunity

Whether it's part-time work, internships, placements, full-time roles or graduate-level schemes, we are always happy to share employment opportunities with our students and graduates.

Other opportunities

Can you help students who don’t have contacts in their chosen careers? Whether it's giving a talk, leading a small group workshop or attending a larger networking reception with other alumni, there are lots of opportunities for you to share your knowledge and experience with students.

As well as giving them a valualable insight into your career, these events are a great way for you to build your own alumni networks. Once you have registered your interest, we will do our best to match you to the right opportunity to engage with our students.
