Professional Mentorship Programme

Cuts across every programme — industry experts walking with every learner.

About this programme

What it's about

Ongoing one-to-one and group mentorship from industry experts and seasoned professionals runs through all GGF programmes — from clarity through training to employment. Mentors provide career direction, industry insight and role-modelling — and, crucially, open doors: mentorship is what enables linkage to internships, apprenticeships and placement opportunities. Mentorship continues after placement, so no youth walks alone into their first job or venture.

Our aim

That no youth at GGF walks alone — every learner surrounded by professional guidance and networks from clarity through placement and beyond.

Expected outcomes

What youth walk away with

  • Consistent one-to-one and group mentorship with vetted professionals
  • Career direction, industry insight and access to networks
  • Linkage to internships, apprenticeships and placement opportunities
  • Continued mentorship after placement into work or enterprise
