About UsBecome A cAreer mentor with inspire, motivAte & engAge!
Giving back is extremely important to us at IME. We are the only training organisation to give 5% of our annual turnover to charity each year, as well as leading learning and development programmes that address societal issues.
Our career mentoring scheme is a volunteer programme which provides guidance and support to young unem-ployed people, and we are currently looking for new career mentors to provide advice and support.
By taking part, you will become a career mentor to a young unemployed graduate or school leaver, who is strug-gling to find employment. We match the young person’s career aspirations to your current job, so that you can share insights into the role and improve their employability skills.
An additional benefit for you taking part is that you will receive access to optional management and leadership training as part of the experience, helping you to become a beIer mentor and a more effective manager. Mean-ing that you can improve your professional skills while also giving back.

why we are helping a lost generation

The damage caused by youth unemployment is not only tem-porary, as evidence suggests it permanently affectsemployment and earnings potential for life.
